'Nuff said, don't bother.

I'm afraid DayZ will end up like Black Mesa Source.

Even BF3 has many hackers with everything going through Origin cloud sync/Battlelog and so on, you can't stop them.

1. Don't buy the HD 7770, it's going to be a low-end card in 1 year or less, not going to last long in the top benchmark cards. 2. Do NOT buy stuff from Powercolor, just don't, trust me. 3. I saw that "v2" in your topic title and I was thinking why don't you go SLI with another GTX 460 to boost your performance even more? My friend used to SLI two 9800GTs since 2008 or so, he could run all the games till now on high framerates and he upgraded this year to GTX 760, trust me, you'll be pleased.

Everything else seems to be perfect. Not sure about the 24" monitor, you might need a more powerful GPU to play Full HD, I don't know TBH.

Are you going to run BF4 with an Intel HD Graphics 4000? :lol: Get a decent discrete VGA. Don't go for an overkill (like GTX 780, 690 etc. etc.). Get a HD 7870 and be happy. You can get one for ~$200. Or if you don't like AMD products, go for a GTX 660 Ti, you can get one for $200 as well.

There is no "Apple" and "worth it" in one sentence.

My laptop manufacturer offers me the drivers for my switchable graphics AMD GPU, and I'm also facing issues with BSoDs showing atikmpag.sys errors, they just don't care about the drivers.

Just make sure your host provider allows SQL databases. Use Wamp Server to handle your database.

No, that Phenom 2 X6 might be more performant than your FX-4100.

Everything is possible. Well, almost everything ;)

Yeah, they added zombie types in a patch this month.

War Z much? This idea is stolen from War Z, so no way.

That's the reason which makes desktops more powerful than laptops. Laptops are most likely made to save the energy and they're not really using the same technology that desktop components use. I'm playing on a laptop so that's not a big deal for me. BTW, does your laptop have a discrete GPU? If so, you can play around with it ;)

You're starting to look like a fanboi, for real ;)

I used to play roleplay servers on San Andreas Multiplayer like 3-4 years ago, and it was quite fun, until I bought a better PC.

I personally won't suggest you to buy video cards from Powercolor, because one of my friends had a real issue with their cards. He bought a boxed/new VTX3D HD 7750 (which is a part of the Powercolor brand I suppose) and it died in a few weeks. No technical support answered. No personal experience but this is it.

Why would he pay another $400 for a 7950 if he has the 6950 and it's working fine (hopefully)? I heard an i5-2500K still beats most of AMD processors in architecture and single-core performance, I don't know what problems might occur with that CPU.

Looking at that magazine crafting and taking bullets out of clips makes you feel like you're in love with your gun for some reason. :)

Didn't see how zombies behave ATM, were they improved or not, but everything else looks much better to me. TBH for a pre-alpha it's a pretty strong project.

So it should be playable from now, pretty excited to see some footage.

Maybe you're confusing flares with chemlight? I often did that when I was new to DayZ.

Chill down, 400 MHz won't make a noticeable improvement in his gameplay, even an AMD Athlon II X4 750K can run smooth and not only this game. P.S. Regarding these GPUs, you won't be able to play games smooth for too long, as you may barely name 128-bit cards "playable".
