Im looking to build a PC for Day Z, and ArmA. My budget is $600 for the PC and OS. Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor are not included in this budget frame. I have no computer knowledge about hardware. I was going to buy a CyberPower PC until I read some of the reviews. Im from the United States, and as far as a case (if one is suggested, I don't want a tricked out case with lights and see through, mainly because I don't want my roommates friends seeing what looks to be a $3000 PC and steal it.)

A friend of mine linked me to the pc above, is this any good?

everything is great but the GPU does not fit in line with the rest of your build, 650ti is a bag of wank if your getting one at least get the boost version, i would recommend getting a regular 660

 

yes the 650 is the bottleneck

The computer is pretty good, and will get you 30 - 40 on normal - high.

The CPU is pretty slow, and I can't find a GPU in there, so if its intergrated, it will be even worse.

If I was you I would get the fx-6300 vishera. You can get it for $120 on newegg. Edited August 24, 2013 by TWAG

No, you'd pretty much need an entirely new system for it to run any games.

Its a laptop, what fps would i get with this? And will I be able to run?

Lets say very little fps.

* You would be lucky to get around 5 FPS.

 

A 1080 resolutions requires about 1.2 GB V-RAM, 1,200 MB V-RAM

 

With 32 MB of V-RAM I would not even suggest gaming.

More than enough to play the game on very high.

On lower than the lowest settings.

Good rig overall.

 

I'd expect around 40 - 50 average FPS on populated servers.

 

The only thing that is holding you back is the graphics card, which should at-least support 2 GB of V-RAM for 1080 resolutions.

* If you had  better GPU, I'd say you can reach 50 - 60 on average.

* If your going to run a 1080 resolution your going to notice some small bottlenecking in the game.

 

More than enough RAM for the system.

 

Processor is good overall, it ain't the best but it's still good.

* I personally ran a I7-920 at a stock clock of 2.90 Ghz and ran the game fine. But that was a while ago, today I use an I7-3770K at 4.2 Ghz.

Hi all, i was just wondering if this pc would run Day Z at a decent fps on low settings.

Here are the specs:

CPU: AMD FX 6300 black edition

Ram:2x4GB

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB

Hard Drive:500GB-S-ATAIII 6.0GB/s

Is there anything i could change to get a better performance or save a bit of money, And if this is no good could you suggest a Pc that is?

Thanks.

That should run fine on high settings, lol.

How about this?

That's the same machine, lol. But yeah, it should still run on high settings.

damn it, mZLY, beat me to it!

If i downgraded to a GT 660 2GB and a AMD FX 4130 Black edition would I still get a decent fps?

if you can afford the 7870 And the 6300 I would stick with those. To be honest I think the 660 is a pretty basic card. On the CPU the fx 6300 is only a $15 difference with the 4130, and you are getting 6 cores. The 4130 is quad cored. Edited August 25, 2013 by TWAG

If you're looking to save some cash you could go with the Radeon 6970. You would save about $30 or so. Keep in mind with a GPU the first number is the series and the second number if it is 1-3 it's crap 4-6 decent 7-9 is what you would want for gaming.

The above PC is not bad, you don't ever need more than 8GB RAM unless you plan to run graphic design/editing programs a lot, and even in that case 8 should suffice unless you're running two or more at once.

 

You may want to upgrade the video card though, the 7750 is both a budget model and two generations old. I would recommend buying a 760, and in the case of you needing a better card just buy a second one (they're $250 each). It's been proven that 2 GTX 770's can outperform a titan quite easily and at about half the price.

 

Realistically though, you will need to spend a fair amount of money to run ArmA II well, as it's a very unpredictable game and can vary so heavily by server. Even computers with two 690's in CrossFire still get drops to 20 or less FPS as times, though very rarely. If you want my advice, go for a second hand PC. Search eBay or craigslist until you find one cheap near you, assess the value of the PC and, if it's good bang for buck, buy it. I bought, a few months ago, a setup with a HD 7850 and 2550K processor. I upgraded to a 770 and it runs DayZ as clear as I could hope to get it, and what's more it only cost me $150 more (after selling the 7850), for a total of $750.

 

So in all honesty, there is value in buying pre-owned hardware, so long as you are cautious about it. If you do choose to do this, add me on Skype and I'll help you sort it out. My Skype is JSparks225. :)

I guess you didn't read what his budget was? Two 760s add his CPU and everything else he is going to need= way over his $600 budget lol....

I intended to point out that for $600 you're not going to run DayZ smoothly, and I then recommended buying secondhand to decrease costs. Sorry if that was unclear. :P
