Could someone do it?

[kingfury4 65]

I have asked around a few times on buying a PC, most of the time I would be told to build a PC, well, I found a website where you can pick the parts and they will build the PC for you, I need someone to design a PC $600-700 on: http://pcpartpicker.com that will be good enough to run Day Z.

EDIT:If you are kind enough to design one, would you kindly give me the link to the page?

600$ that including monitor/keyboard/mouse etc?

If not, i suggest keep saving till u get about 1200$. and buy yourself a pc that will last beyond dayz.

Could you design one within the price range of 1000-1200?

Mind you, i am in no way a pc expert, or exceptionally god at building pc's. I'm also not sure on the powersupply i would go save, and get a crosair 1000W. to make sure u get enough.

Just helping out a fella dayz player.

This pc is similair to what i have it's very good. allthough i only have a i7 860 @2.8ghz. (since mines a year old)

can save a few $ on less memory,

and like 80$ on a lower CPU.

This setup got one of the newer i7's with a 40% capacity to overclock.

a good 1gb videocard

this will run dayz at 60fps. and wont stress the PC. and u can use this pc for more then just dayz, it's good enough to run future games aswell.

IMO, never buy a cheap pc. cause the next good game that comes out u need to buy a new one again. a pc like this lasts for a few years.

If ur building a gaming pc, spend most on the graphics card. Then pick a power supply that can run the graphics card (1000W is extreme). Go for a decent CPU then a cheap motherboard. If using windows vista, 4gb of ram is the most it can handle, anything more and it cant utilize it.

If you want serious help, id suggest heading over to toms hardware and make a post. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/

Their are threads about this everyday that get answered, you probably dont even have to make one.

OP you can make a pretty good tower for around $500-$600.

I discovered that when I saw a PC build where a person spent $637 and they said it could max out ArmA: CO I know that will probably not apply to DayZ

It does not take a mean machine to "max out" Arma:CO

It might if you want multiple monitors on multiple graphics cards (which supposedly arma chokes on anyway)

Here are my machine specs... and it plays just fine at 1680x1050x32bit-colors:

Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1

3.65 gigahertz AMD Phenom II X2 560 (run-of-the-mill dual core)

BIOSTAR Group TA870+ (average m-board)

12288 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory (way overkill just to run Arma ... or anything for that matter)

AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series [Display adapter] (1GB of GDDR5 memory)

40GB solid state drive (unnecessary)

400W power supply

Mid tower case and quiet fans

other hard drives/monitor/keyboard/mouse

Headset with microphone (need one if you want to play with buddies ... helps coordination tremendously via teamspeak or steam voice chat)

ISP connection: low end DSL (3mbps down/800kbps up)

That will max out at 1080p the CPU should be overclocked for best results its easy and I included a cooler in the build.

The i7 rig earlier is wrong. Too much CPU very weak graphics card and a pointlessly expensive HDD. If you want Intel get an i5 along with the best GPU you can afford.

There are two ways you can go: learn how to build a PC on your own, or just buy a pre-built one if you don't want to put in the time.

If you want to strike out on your own and learn how to put together a PC then check out the Reddit BuildAPC forum here: http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc

There is an in-depth guide there in the sidebar on the right on how to research parts and put one together including videos. Here is the direct link: http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/f3efg

If you don't have the time or the inclination to make it a do-it-yourself project then you should simply just buy a pre-built gaming PC. I recommend going to a site like Newegg.com and checking out their selection.

Here is a Newegg link to their gaming PCs sorted by review ratings: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100019096%20600030537&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=RATING&PageSize=20

There is a simple rule of thumb when buying PC parts: you get what you pay for. Model numbers can be misleading (especially with video cards). Higher numbers don't necessarily mean it's better. Just look at the prices and that generally will tell you which is better. You get more bang for you buck by building your own, but that's usually how things are when you do things yourself and cut out the middle man.

I'd recommend spending at least $800 on a PC and going as high as you can afford, although performance gains for the money starts dropping off alot around the $1200 mark, then you have to start dropping $600+ on just the video cards alone to see gains.

Remember that those prebuilt PCs do not come with a monitor so you'll either have to use one you already have or drop $100-200 on a new one.

Hope that helps.
