New computer spec?

[crazycallum 0]

Looking to buy a new desktop in the new year so that I can play this, don't think my laptop would support it at all.

What's a decent spec I should look for so I can play Day z reasonably well? Don't really fancy spending over 300 quid if it can be helped.

"reasonable well".. oh dear... DayZ SA at the moment runs "reasonably well" for good specs. For all others you need to massively tweak the settings to get a playable framerate.

 

It depends on what you consider "resonably well", but in my understanding of the term you won't find any rig <300 bucks to run it at the moment "reasonably well". Later if it's optimized it might be possible

But i suggest investing little more and get fx6300 + r9 270 + 8gb ram. You will be happier in the long run
