That was similar to my original build plan. I read many reviews and did a cost analysis and realized it wouldn't be much more expensive if I went with the fx8120 and radeon hd 7850 instead.

I'm glad I chose the 8120 for sure, it struggles to get 40 fps on dayz in high traffic towns as is... not sure how the 6100/6200 would fare. And that is with an overclock to 4.1GHz. That is with graphics on very high on a 1680x1050 res.

Supposedly the radeon hd 7850 blows the 7770 out of the water.

I'd think about it. I mean, after parts and labor it would be a pain in the dick to have an already dated computer. What you listed will run fine but you won't get as impressive a setup as you may be expecting.

Also, check that mobo for reviews on overclocking(if you're planning on going down that road). I would assume the "extreme" implies greater OC capability, but I'd make sure. I got the standard Asus 990fx UD3 and it blows goats, I have proof.

I bought a relatively cheap aftermarket cpu fan (I think $50 or so) and could have overclocked to 4.5GHz comfortably but the piece of shit North Bridge heatsink can't handle anything over 4.1.

hum, Seems like you want a cheaper machine considering the graphics card you choose. But why on earth whould you pick a 6 core AMD processor? First of all AMD is far behind intel atm so I would suggest going for an i5. and you really don't need 6 cores if you are building a pcs for gaming. There is no games that actually use 6 cores so it really is a complete waste. When it comes to storage I would recommend that you get an SSD aswell for your OS / Programs (that needs to be fast), this will be one of the biggest improvments you can get for a 'fast speed feeling'.

The ram should be running at 1600 mhz which is the sweetspot between price / preformance.

The part you should spend the most money on is the graphics card for sure, if I remember correctly, the AMD cards run better on arma than nvidia does for other games it is the other way around.
