is this a good pc setup?

[Chaalan 0]

I'm building my pc atm and wanted to know if this is a good setup, my processor is the and fx 6300, and my graphics card is the sapphire raedeon 280 r9 series, my case has not come in yet.

It would help better if you just posted the parts instead of a picture. :P

That is a fine set-up.  Unfortunately dayz scales horribly on the cpu and is a cpu dependent game.  It also runs better with intel processors then AMD.  With that being said take that fx processor you have there up to a easily obtainable 4.5 ghz overclock and with what appears to be a sapphire 280x 3gb  oc video card you shall have an enjoyable time.  When and if they ever get the cpu scaling fixed you will have a hifg FPS time as well.  I am an intel fanboy but I do not think AMD is so terrible.  Some will come on here and say AMD is shit just ignore them.  It is true it will not run mind blowing FPS but neither does intel at this stage of development.  Enjoy it is a nice system.

It is okay. I have a FX-8320. Given the bad multi core support, it should run the same on your cpu as on mine. It is acceptable when playing on moderate settings, but don't expect too much. At this state you cannot compare DayZ to any other "complete" game. Your graphics card is better. I have a R9 270x Toxic. My FPS are between 15 - 50, depending on where I am in the game.

Well, bug him to send you the information. :P Also, it looks alright, just don't expect max settings at 60+ FPS. :) Make sure to modify your DayZ.cfg to get better performance. Another thing to do is to use command lines which also increases performance.

That's not a PC, that's a bed.

 

Good bed though, looks comfy.

thanks for the reply, I got the fx 6300 because I'm trying to stay on a budget but I will evantually upgrade to an i7

If it's only for DayZ, an i5 will do the job just well. But keep in mind this game is in development and a new renderer is about to come, so don't build your rig with only the current DayZ in mind.

this pc will be for gaming in general, which is why I want an i7 thanks for the input, also what do you mean by new renderer
