Can someone get me some links to build a pc that can run days SA?

[Michael_42 11]

Can someone please put down some links for all the pc parts so I can order some. Not high grade but just enough to run days pretty good, budget is $400 - $500 thanks for any help.

[pugs2300 2]

thats tough man...

let me ask....do you have any components at all laying around....

or maybe another computer that may be upgradable...

im no computer expert by any means

but thats a pretty small budget for a pc with the intent specifically to run this game....

Get an i5 whit at least a z68/h77/z77 motherboard, 2x4GB ddr3 1333/1600, any nvidia whit at least 300+ stream processors and 1GB+ ram will make Dayz fly.

You could add a 64GB ssd to install games on, but it s a lot of money to save 2 seconds in loadings screens so just use your old hdd or any wd caviar black will do the trick nicely and cheapy

400-500$ is damn low for a complet build.

That would get a motherboard, processor and ram

[Michael_42 11]

Does anyone know of a pre-built tower I can buy for about $4-500? Maybe 6? I already have keyboard, mouse, and monitor

[creature 1189]

If you'll be happy with "pretty good", go with AMD. 

 

Something like: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8687101&CatId=332 will run it decently. Better after they optimize.  :thumbsup:

 

Edit to add: That was just an idea. I suggest shopping around for prices and parts.

This one will run Dayz mod and standalone just fine if you want pretty good, but not maxed out. I should know, cos its the rig I bought last August for 50 quid more than it is now, and I am delighted with it!

The second one I think is the best with it having windows 7 64 bit also I heard people playing bf3 on this thing stock so it should be able to play dayz and minecraft right? Again this is the link

Did he just post links to Wal-Mart?

My suggestion is save your money for another month, and maybe almost double your budget and you can build a way better machine. It's worth the wait, trust me. I bought a cheap pc to run some games, wasn't long before I just built a wayy better pc that runs games like a b0zz

^ This.

Wait until you have $1000 to spend and do plenty of research into what components people posting good performance stats here use.

The added advantage of waiting a while is that we're due some performance optimisation in the game soon and this could reduce how much you need to spend to get a rig that will play the SA at a good frame rate with the graphics set at Medium or better.

yeah on the other hand

 

ive build my custom watercooled rig with less than 300 and it rocks dayz pretty damn good B)

 

you dont need always the latest and best hardware ;)  i used mainly secondhand or b-grade parts

[terminal_boy 860]

An excellent suggestion if you know where to get good secondhand parts without getting burned.

[Michael_42 11]

Ya guys I wish I could wait a month and have another $400 because I'm only 14 and my dad is spending $300 into this I don't want to game or anything just want to play minecraft and dayz and be able to browse, watch youtube, and write reports and stuff for school so will any of those computers run dayz? That's all I want to know. I will not be playing ghost, bf4 or anything like that i have an xbox one and 360 for that. Will dayz be coming to consoles?

Edited March 1, 2014 by Michael_42

[Michael_42 11]

I think I'm just going to get this pc and upgrade the graphics card if it won't run dayz. http://www.walmart.com/ip/CyberpowerPC-Black-Gamer-Ultra-GUA250-Desktop-PC-with-AMD-Quad-Core-FX-4300-Processor-8GB-Memory-1TB-Hard-Drive-and-Windows-7-Home-Premium-Monitor/17811825

[psyelf 2]

If you can't wait for have more money, you should, in any case, consider to build your own PC.

This can give you some ideas.

As some user adviced, secondhands part can help you to build a better PC for the same price tag.

 

Some example with new parts:

Can someone tell me the cheapest graphics card, power supply, motherboard, etc. to run dayz? This would help a lot. And guys I don't want an amazing gaming pc just one to run dayz and minecraft pretty good that is it. Nothing else like bf4 or anything just dayz and minecraft and like word and what not. Also prices for these components would be great.

[Mehsiah 2]

I just built a new pc for myself in december. Its my 2nd pc Ive built myself.

I had a starting budget of 800$/ ended up spending 1000$. My setup:

i7 4770k 3.5ghz + cooler master cpu evo cooler

Gigabyte h87 lga 1150

8 gb of ram - ripjaws

evga geforce gtx 660 sig 2

500gb hd

750Watt Corsair PSU

New Corsair PC tower

 

Runs Dayz smooth as butter

You should have saved on a 4670k and got a much better board. rest of parts are OK for the price.

I haven't had any issues at all. I should of pointed it out that I got my 4770k when they were 295 bucks.

 

I built this to work awesome with streaming. Im happy with it. :)

I never told the 4770k was a problem ;) The board is weak and wont allow for good overclock on the 4770k. A 4670k + a Z87 board could have been a better balanced build.
