what do i buy to play dayZ? (hardware)

[ghostshooter 0]

hi, sorry if there is already a post like this, but i didnt find any.

so in short, im kinda a noob when it comes to PC hardware. what i do know though, is after looking at arma 2 requirements from what i can tell, all i need is a new CPU processor and a new video card. im also unsure if any other parts of my pc will need an upgrade to run any new hardware, such as needing a new motherboard. im also on a budget so it cant be anything too pricy, and i tried looking for stuff on newegg but i got nowhere, so maybe someone can help me out and tell me what to get?

in short this is what i think i need:

1. cheap and good video card

2. cheap and good CPU processor

3. motherboard etc?

i care about graphics such so if its not much more money im willing to pay for higher spec hardware, such as the recommended hardware for arma 2.

also as a note, idk what specs i need to provide and i may need help finding out how to show specs. but my OS is windows XP.

quick answer is see how much you have to spend, that will enable us to give you a better answer, also the less you have to replace/upgrade the better parts you can get over all. Send me a PM with all your current stats + how much you have to spend and i can see what i can do to help you out.
