Looking to make a new gaming rig for DayZ; Need suggestions

[Shrapnell 92]

Alright, members of the DayZ forum, I'm looking to build my own gaming rig to support most games and especially DayZ. Something that is affordable, but doesn't force me to run on very low. Any suggestions?

anandtech.com forums and guides. Way better than taking advice from around here. No offense to anyone here. Just a very good resource for pc building.

Get a really trick looking case. Add cow bell.

Then add more cowbell.

Two bits of advice people don't seem to give enough - don't scrimp *too much* on the power supply or the case - they're two hugely important components, and you can get cheapo D-luxx versions for relatively small sums, but in the long run you'll be hurting your performance and wallet. Just spend a little extra money and get some decent, well-reviewed ones - they don't cost all that much more, and you won't regret it.
