THE ULTIMATE IDEA: POST THIS IN BANDIT CAMPFIRE. SIT BACK. RELAX. GRAB A POPCORN. HIT F5. AND ENJOY THE RAGE!!!

I will gladly help you... send me a PM to learn the basics from a fellow, albeit experienced, n00b.

If there's one thing you do, just DO NOT DROP YOUR BACKPACK! The glitches in this game are a mess but only do what you absolutely need to when screwing around with that inventory. My Coyote Backpack vanished in thin air and was replaced by a CPP.. HOW!?!?!

Good call retchet, yes and 400W is the minimum, I'd shoot for at least a 600W PSU. I have a 80PLUS, it turns down the power when I don't need it, it's glitchy but nice. The graphics card make a difference? Ooooh YEAH it will. Your mind shall be blown. For sure. 6GB RAM and an i5 are just splendid. You can finally run everything on Ultra B) Oh, and make sure that tiny Lenovo has a good cooling system. The first few times you play, watch your temps by looking at a utility like SpeedFan (free, http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php). Check the specs for your card, too. If it goes above the max temp, STOP PLAYING and rethink your rig. I push my 9800 to 100 deg. Celsius, 5 away from the max, and it works great. But when you have a small-form-factor PC, you really need to watch out. And if you can't even fit the thing in... just let me know

Yes, I've never lost anything switching from Ghillie to Civilian and infinitely back again. I think it depends on the server you're on.

Well, the 9800GT is real outdated nowadays, but it's always been a kickass card, and if you really do want one, it costs only about $20 now. I don't know the most about graphics cards out there, but even something as low as that will probably get you what you desire. *The 9800GT doesn't support DirectX11, though, the standard of Windows 7, so I wouldn't suggest buying it unless you're running Vista/XP.* As for manufacturers? I'd suggest buying an NVIDIA, I've never really gone with ATI, but Nvidia support for their cards seems better. As for which you should buy? There is a GT and GTX line. I suggest GTX as it's a lot better and made for gaming. So consider any model that says GTX, just make sure you get something above the GTX460, which may be discontinued soon. That will give you good performance on anything you want. Look at NVIDIA's lineup here, http://www.nvidia.co...rce_family.html, ask around for the prices, and see which is right for you. GTX560 will be much more than enough you need for Arma2, so just give it a Google and check them out. Anything within the 460-560 range will be plenty powerful for you, and should have enough power to keep up with games a couple years in the future. Check this link for a more detailed list. http://www.geforce.c...re/desktop-gpus Just FYI, the ABSOLUTE most powerful card there is today is the GTX690, but that has 4 GPUs, and costs $1000.

Yes, absolutely, I agree fully.... wonderful summary of everything that has made me rage!

You ought to invest some money in a better desktop. Laptops are not really made for gaming, more for work. Desktops are made for whatever the hell you can throw at them.

Extreme *FACEPALM*... before they wasted their time on making dogs, they should have worked on the innumerable bugs and glitches first! Dogs are a good idea but fix the things that really matter!

Stars? Get with the times man... *sees brony profile pic... finds a wall... BASH BASH BASH BASH BASH...*

Ahh well pardon me, answering your question. I have a 3 year old 9800GT, 512MB of RAM, that's it, and yet I run DayZ on Ultra. Really anything above that will be perfect for DayZ and Call of Little Kids, but if you want to get the best out of games like Battlefield 3, you'll want a GTX560 or above. It's your choice, really depends on what level of performance you want out of your PC. 6GB of RAM is great and Core i5 is fine.

No, because I'm too damn scared. B)

Mate, that's why you find a toolbox. The ultimate anti-fagg0t weapon! ;)

Move every slider all the way to the left, and you'll be cruising along with 15FPS. The CPU should be fine for games too, although don't expect to be able to play BF3 with a Core2 Duo. i5 's are great, and a Core2 Quad is even better.

I may have a ghillie, silenced M4A1, M1911, hatchet, NVGs, rangefinder blah blah blah... all that I looted from someone but I am a noob at heart. :D See you on.

That's supposed to happen. Welcome to DayZ Commander! :D At least you're not using that piece of crap Six that Rocket "endorses", that is unusable.

Look at http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/A_Beginners_Guide And yes, I suggest playing another more simple PC game, and get used to the controls of that, before you mess around in ArmA/DayZ. Arma has a very weird and extensive control set.

You do know that's exactly what kindles flame wars in the first place.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator??? Uhhh... no wonder you're having artifacts. And please don't tell me you have 1760MB of system memory... I don't understand how you're even playing the game with those integrated graphics, sorry man... If you want to play DayZ/ArmA with no lag you'll need a discrete graphics card...

I only have them at Balota Airfield (not like my noob self has been up north yet... :( ) but when they do come, they make the game unplayable. By the way, I have a 4 year old Nvidia 9800GT as my card running on Ultra.

Micro$hit puts bandwidth limits on console multiplayer, that's why BF3 for console can only have 24 damn players while PC can have 64. But making it for console would be nice, the console haters should stop clamoring.

Wonder what rank you are?

Could you sound more insolent? Even trollbiscuits treat people with courtesy.

Now I'm no brony, but me and mah gunz might just stop in with my genuine M240 and a few of my machine-gun totin' buds and.... say "hello".

Around 40-60 FPS on ALL OF THOSE, at least. And I don't need no OC'd GTX670, I get PERFECT performance with a 9800GT and 512MB of VRAM. Your 670 can suck it.
