I want this game soooo bad

As soon as I get a job I'm saving up for a new computer just for this game. I intend to build my own even though I've never done that before, but I'm pretty computer literate, and have messed with a few internals just like ram, and HDD. I know it's pretty simple though. Especially when you have the help of the internet.

First question. Any suggestions as what parts to buy to be able to run this game beautifully?

Probably by the time I get a job, and save up the money the parts you suggest will be cheaper as well.

I don't really know that much about this game as I've only really started getting interested in it. Over the past few days I've been watching Frankies video's. I'm almost done with his videos. I have been reading a lot of stuff about the game as well.

I'm assuming combat logging, and hackers are still a big deal? I know this has probaly been suggested before, but in World of Warcraft when you log out I think you had like a 30 second timer you sat down for before you could log out. Are hackers really that bad that a server admin just cant ban them, or are there so many hacking people on this game that there's new daily?

I think they should do like planetside 2, and just outright ban the hackers from the game. If they want to play it again that bad they can buy a new copy, or go play the BoreZ.

Anyways I'm not going to ask, or suggest any more stupid stuff when I can just go search for it. Just wanted to establish myself in this awesomeness.

If you're looking for a PC I highly suggest this: https://www.vibox.co...ng/vibox-apache it's an amazing PC for the price.

Edit: The hackers are a problem on the hive (public servers) on private hives where admins have full control hackers are banned really quickly, if that is there is any.

I suppose 800 dollars is a pretty good price for a computer. However does that say 16 gigs of ddr3 ram? Damn. Who would ever need that much ram? Also I heard Nvidia was better for this game than AMD. I suppose thats the comp you're running? You run this game on full settings? What's your frames per second? I was looking for something a bit cheaper. Well at least looking for it to be cheaper if I built a rig like that. I mean If im looking to spend 600 dollars on a computer what's an extra 200 when you would already have 600 saved up. lol

edit:

Right now my computer has AMD Athlon 64 x2 daul core processor 3800+ 2.00 ghz.

Ram is 1471 mb

I think the video card is a Nvidia Geforce 6600. Don't know if that's integrated.

This computer sucks though. I don't know anything about videocards, or processors really. I just know I can run Counterstrike source that will never get above 20fps. If I'm lucky I'd get 20fps lol.

I don't run it but that's the kind of computer you need and it's around $400 cheaper than most for what's inside and I know it can run DayZ on normal or higher settings.

Edit: That edit really isn't powerful enough for an enjoyable experience.

Yea I know. My computer couldn't even run Battlefield free only on the lowest settings and that still was pretty horrible.

The only reason I would buy the game before I got a pc would be to support the awesomeness. That would be the standalone, because that will be out by the time I get a pc. Anyways this I'm sure is many months away, so thanks for your replys.

Always custom build. PM your budget then we'll get started.

No problem. The standalone is going to be less demanding than the mod so more people can play.

I dont think that is accurate. I believe that the SA will be less demanding in its vanilla state, but I believe that is to make way for things of importance/significance like OOP ie. Attachments, durability etc.

While the SA will be optimized, I dont think saying "It's gonna be better so people can run it" is accurate. I may be wrong but I am sure I am not.

If you are on a tight budget maybe something like this will do the job.
