Computer specs help

[MorOs (DayZ) 0]

Hi, forum peoples.

Been lurking and checking out some info on this mod. After looking around for a bit I have realized that my computer probably can't handle ArmA 2 and since I'm interested in getting the game and mod, I wanted some help from people actually playing the game.

My processor: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819115016

My graphics card: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814103104

I feel fairly confident about my graphics card and have read that at certain graphics settings, the game is far more CPU intensive. My old Core2 Duo won't perform too well with this game so I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could point me towards a better CPU. I'd also need to know if my motherboard would have to be upgraded too, it's stock along with my CPU from when I got the computer. A price range (for the CPU) of $100 - $200 is about where I'm at.

Edit: New to the forums... may have posted this in the wrong section. Could a mod plz move it if it shouldn't be here.
