barrett_killz 229 Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) I'm finally planning to move from a laptop to a desktop, this is what I've got, any advices, thoughts, experiences?ASRock 990FX EXTREME3 (AMD990FX/SB950, ATX)AMD FX6300™ X6 BOX AM3+, 3.5GHz, 6MB L2, 8MB L3, 95W 32nm (Might go for a FX 8320 as well)CoolerMaster Hyper T4 (RR-T4-18PK-R1) (Please advice if it's a good cooler for this CPU with slight overclocking)8GB (4x2GB) DDR3 (brand not chosen yet)500GB-SATA-16MB-7200 Western Digital "Scorpio Black (WD5000BPKT)"Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 1024 MB GDDR5, 128 bit (Might go for a XFX HD 7850 but this will take some time)Can't find a good PSU in my country, only low brands (Chieftec, Xilence, etc.), might order a good XFX 550-600W PSU from Ebay.Went AMD due to low budget which is on my 1st place.

No. You'd get 50+ with everything maxed, object detail (only affects the amount of grass loaded) set to 'normal' and post-process effects disabled though. can i run it600w psu6gb ddr3 rammsi am3+ motherboardamd athlon ll 240 am3 cpu 2.8ghz8600gt cardwindows 7 ultimate 64bit. You'd struggle with very low FPS on low settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heres a secret:Even with a overclocked Titan and a overclocked i5@+4,5ghz you will struggle getting +60 fps in cherno on high/very high sometimes WHY?Its the arma 2 engine, when shit goes down in big towns (cherno/electro) ALL computers will struggle hard keeping the fps up Tip:Overclock youre cpu to the MAX, if its an i7,disable HT (Hyper trading) as this sometimes makes games slower.Arma 2 is heavily cpu hungry,the moar GHZ the better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm running an i5 3570k @ 4.4Ghz with an EVGA GTX 780 and I don't get a solid 60 in Elektro (haven't been to Cherno since buying the 780). I play on the graphics settings that I suggested and hover around 50 FPS in Elektro. It's not perfect but the game looks great and it's more than playable, so no complaints from me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ocelot07 60 Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) can some 1 link me to a pc that could run day z at low/med graphics price range 200-300 Ok first off are you in the UK? If so then I know of 2 PC's for you that will suit you need. Both are pre built but both require a GPU and a OS. Meaning both are a little bit over £300. First one I found is this APU system. http://www.ebuyer.com/504520-zoostorm-desktop-pc-7873-1082 £269.99 but £20 cash back so really £249.99. Then get a 6670 to crossfire with the APU cost £50 http://www.ebuyer.com/481932-xfx-radeon-hd-6670-graphics-card-2gb-ddr3-pci-express-2-1-hdmi-dual-link-hd-667x-cnf2 so that is £300 after cash back. Then you need a Windows OS you can get a genuine windows XP for about £15 on ebay so your looking at £320 for that system. Not amazing but it will run dayz and other games at low/medium and playable frame rate. Second system is more upgradable in the future. i3 ivy bridge cpu 1tb hard drive 8gb ram. But again needs windows and gpu. I would go for the 6670 again (not amazing card but will do) and a £15 windows xp from ebay total will come to £330. But this one is more upgradable. You can slap in a i5 sometime down the line in this system and a better GPU. But if you do plan on upgrading in future you will need a better PSU.http://www.ebuyer.com/519887-zoostorm-desktop-pc-7873-1092 Edited August 11, 2013 by ocelot20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ebuyer are also selling a ivy bridge Pentium desktop with 6gb ram and windows 7. All that it needs is a GPU. http://www.ebuyer.com/519868-zoostorm-desktop-pc-7873-0461 so if I where you I would buy that (if your in the UK). Slap in a cheap 6670 (dabs.com sell 6670 for £43 I think) and you have your self a decent gaming pc for a little over £300. It is also upgradable so you can slap in a ivy bridge i5 in there in the future without changing motherboards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
