the issue is this, i simply get really really low fps on dayz even if i turn everything to minimum, is there a problem with my machine or is it the game?

i can get 70 fps on metro 2033 and 90 fps on crysis 2 but i get 20 fps on dayz regardless of the settings i chose

Damn, so much bottle neck posted OP! That Arctic Silver Thermal paste? RUBBISH! That power gobbling case!? WTF you thinking! THAT FAAAAAN MAAAN!! That mouse dude! KILL IT!

For real bro. No need to post that stuff. Its just funny to me. lol

ANYWAYS~!!! Serious post? Its the game, server, read write to HDD. you can do the install to RAM trick or install it on a SSD. But this will help for maybe 10-20 fps. Your best bet is to get in a server that plays well with your settings and stick with it.

Your choice!!!

You should always try and prevent potential bottle-necking.

What type of HDD do you have?

ARMA2 is rather HDD intensive as well as CPU intensive and some people run Ramdisks or SSDs to improve this.
