YAWN...another question like: Will this rig run dayz?

[MeowBlackhall 0]

Hi all

I've been tempted back into the world of PC gaming by DAYZmod and the possibility of an Alpha release occurring in 2013.

Im on a £500-600 budget and i've been looking at two pre-built systems and warily peeking at the possibility of building my own.

Here are the pre-built systems i've got my eye on:

#1

Processor Speed: 3.40 GHz X4 *** 4 CORES ***

QUAD Core Processor: Intel i5 IVY BRIDGE X4 3570 (Code Name: IVYBRIDGE)

Hard drive: 500GB

RAM: 4GB DDR3

Graphics: Intel Chipset

On the webpage it says that the integrated graphics are Nvida, obviously i'll be upgrading this part of the PC. I was thinking about getting the affordable AMD Radeon HD 7850 (2GB) Full HD Graphics Card but as the chipset is NVIDA does that mean I will have to buy a NVIDA brand card? If so, what can people recommend in the region of £200? Is the AMD Radeon HD 7850 (2GB) Full HD Graphics Card any good for DayZ / gaming purposes?

#2

Processor Speed: 3.20 GHz X4 *** 4 CORES ***

QUAD Core Processor: Intel i5 IVY BRIDGE X4 3470 (Code Name: IVYBRIDGE)

Hard drive: 1TB

RAM: 8GB DDR3

Graphics: Dedicated Full HD Graphics Card (Raedon HD 7750)

Are either of these options any good?

Does anybody have any advice or suggestions for improvements?

Many thanks for taking the time to have a read, i hope you've been enjoying my extravagant use of bolds, fonts and red (especially red. Nick

You know there is a "Can I run it thread" sitting on the New player discussion at the top.

Some people are idiots I swear

Maybe we should have that as just a section on its own seeing as 50% of all new threads made are of this kind.

#1 and no you don't have to get an Nvidia card, it's just using Nvidia integrated graphics currently.

If you have any more questions please use the Can I Run It? topic which you can find here...
