Honestly just build your self a cheap gaming pc.Bummer, yeah I've been considering doing that for a while. I think that will be my only option if I want it on high with good FPS. Thank you!

ocelot07 60 Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Thought I would make a post for people on a extremely tight budget. Here is a spec I helped a friend build a few weeks back for the money he is extremely pleased with it.CPU: AMD A10-5800k CPU (its a CPU with built in graphics) very good for the price. Price is £100 but places like Amazon have it for £96.Motherboard: AsRock FM2A55M-DGS (its cheap and does the job) £41 at amazon.RAM: 4gb Kingston KVR16N11S8/4 1600mhz (its cheap and does the job £26 at amazon.PSU: 500w Coolermaster Elite (more than enough for this build) £30 at amazon.Hard Drive: Any 3.5 Sata hard drives will do. Amazon sell 320gb for around £22.Case: Any case will do so lets say £15DVD drive Any SATA drive will do £13So for that build your looking at around £245 for that build. My friends was cheaper since he all ready had a spare hdd and dvd drive. He is currently playing DayZ at a decent FPS at 1080p on medium settings with no dedicated hard drive. He has ordered a 7850 which will help the system out a lot. But that current build will be fine for most games at decent settings at 1080p or 720p. Again adding a dedicated graphics card will be a massive improvement . Even putting in a £100 7790 will be a great choice. If you don't have the money right now again this build alone will be fine. So you can always get a cheap graphics card later on.Please note: You will also need a OS. If you want to go Windows then if you really want to be cheap then ebay sellers sell OEM Windows XP (legit) for £16 or windows 7 for around £40.

Cap'n (DayZ) 1827 Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) You should go for the new 6800k instead. Its IGPU(8760D) is said to be equal to a 7750 in terms of performance. For a budget build, that's pretty damn solid. Edited June 5, 2013 by Cap'n Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ocelot07 60 Posted June 5, 2013 I was going to suggest the 6800k. I have not read all that much about them just yet. I have only read 3 or 4 reviews at the moment and 2 of them say it is a improvement but not to much for the extra money in this case £20. If people can get one between £100-£110 then sure go for the 6800k.Another suggestion for the 5800k is you can crossfire it with a cheap £40 6670 for better performance. Am not sure how good the performance will be. But I can vouch for the 6670. I had this card for about 9 months last year. I had this card when I first started playing Dayz. I was playing in 1080p on high settings (no AA low shadows) with 40+ FPS. I would imagine crossfiring a 6670 with the 5800k will give you the same performance of a 7750 maybe a little bit better.

Galcian 2 Posted June 6, 2013 I know that my CPU will run it ok and have enough RAM. Core i5 3570K @ 4.0 gHz and 8 GB of 1600 DDR3 (Upgrading to 12 or 16 GB soon). I have an old SATA 250 GB HDD which I'm looking forward to upgrade to a SSD. Have 3 TB combined in the backup drives, but I didn't set them up for cache swap, nor I believe it will be needed.The GPU is my only concern. I have an old Nvidia Geforce GTX 460 overclocked from 675 core/ 1800 mem (3600 mHz effective) to 810/1950 (3900 mHz). The overclock is with the card's stock voltages and pretty stable but I don't know how graphics intensive Arma II and by extension, DayZ will be. In the experience of those who have played, what framerate should I expect? I made this machine for Skyrim and since I finished it I played Minecraft or even Gamecube emulation occasionally. I was thinking on buying a GTX 660 Ti or an AMD HD 7950. Any recommendations will be welcome. :)Also, I haven't bought Arma II and the expansion because I have been holding out for the standalone release. I think it may not be worth it, even more when I have read that the mod has become stagnant. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had an EVGA 560ti Ultra Classified and the 640 would be a step down for me, let alone alone not enough for anyone else for this game. I had everything on high and I would hit the occasional FPS hits in towns pretty bad.Don't get a 640 or even a 650. Go with a 560ti or 660 or higher.

Cap'n (DayZ) 1827 Posted June 6, 2013 Hey, my brother has gone off to college and he's left his PC for me. Its an older rig, but I'm curious as to what settings I could achieve.Specs;CPU- Intel Core i7 920 overclocked(not sure how much q.q)GPU- 2x GTX 460's in SLI, 1768 MB video ram(1.7 gbs)RAM- Crosair XMS3 8gb DDR3 1333 MHzMOBO- Intel LGA 775 EXTREME MotherboardPSU- 800 watt, not sure what brand.HDD- 320gb, 134 is already used up(time to delete some shit)I don't know how much I'd use it, as it'd be my 3rd PC(lol). I might give it to a friend or sell it off Ebay to someone who knows nothing about PC's and get more than its worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I really need to know is what I need to upgrade, thanks.Unfortunately, pretty much everything. The Celerons are very, very old now and you're on an integrated graphics chip, you'll need a decent dedicated graphics card to improve your performance. You'll need a new motherboard to house the new processor and because of that you're gonna have to switch from DDR2 to DDR3 RAM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
