Actually, we determined yesterday that your pc will be able to run it at the low end of medium, at best, but will likely be stuck at low/very low. Standalone is going to be a while yet, rocket just brought up 'closed beta' last week, which means its still a while til that, and at least a month of closed testing before open. At best I'd say SA is 2-3 months off. Realistically? 3-4 months out with all the changes rocket mentioned last week in his update.

I'd buy the Game. Arma II is a great sim in and of itself (don't call it a game, that would be comparing it to trash rides like CoD). That would at least let you be able to see how well you could really run it on your current specs. That'd actually be the best way to see what/how far you need to upgrade your current rig

You have to learn to make your own choices and judgements.

Not your personal decision makers.

You should get ArmA 2/DayZ tomorrow and you should also become a world famous pianist.

If you got questions, I have answers. :)

Just buy both,arma 2is a good game in its own right.

Apologies, I'm tired and grumpy. I also advise on getting A2. But do search the forums as this does come up regularly.

I bought Arma 2 last week. If it helps, I dont regret it one bit.

Arma II doesn't just have DayZ. It's a whole game with plenty of other fun mods.

Exactly. There's loads of other fun things, like Takistan Life RPG or ACE. ArmA 2 is a good game itself too.
