I have a problem guys, please help!

Alright, this is a bit about DayZ so I didn't know what category my topic will fall in, but here's the problem.

December, DayZ Game comes out.

I can barely run DayZ Mod and I do not think I will be able to play DayZ Game

Right now I get 17 to 19 FPS in Chernarus, and around 20 in Namalsk (Less trees?)

So that being said, I have some options here:

Either hope that it will work

Or buy a new PC.

I already found a good suitable rig for me, but I might decrease it because I do not afford it.

Phenom 2 Black Box 3.4GHz

Sapphire HD 7770 Overclock Edition

8GB RAM

Now, the problem is it's 400 euros on ebay (I decided that I will reuse some parts like HDD and DVD reader from this PC + the current 4GB RAM it has and buy 4GB more) and my parents will probably not give me that much.

I heard Arma 2 Doesn't need a very powerful GPU to run it, but it needs RAM and CPU.

So I might get a cheaper GPU just for the sake of patience.

But wich.

Help?

TL;DR:

DayZ comes out, not sure if it will work on my pc.

I don't know what GPU parts to buy because I heard ARMA doesn't need a very powerful one + the rig above.

Help.

Don't skimp and rush things, it'll pay off to wait and save up a little bit more cash. It's true that ArmA 2 is a lot more CPU intensive than it is GPU, but having a decent graphics card still pays off.

Swap the GPU with a HD 6850 or HD 6870 and you should be good to go.

But as mZLY says, don't rush things, even though the HD 6000 series is perfectly fine to run any game on max.
