Hey anhy,

Your hardware is basically perfect; I would use a high-end SSD to run the actual server on rather than a SATA, other than that you're capped in terms of hardware. Your main bottleneck however, is software. ARMA2, and specifically DayZ, is not built to handle so many connections (75+) at once. You'll find that if you get to 80-100 players, you'll start having mass disconnect spams. There are some advanced network settings you can tweak to lessen this, but it'll still be a pretty big problem.

Another issue with hosting a large server you should consider is that fact that when hackers want to grief, they sort servers by players online. If you have a 150/150 player count, every hacker is going to want to get on and nuke your server over and over again because they want to show off their e-dick to as many people as possible.

Anyway, let me know if you need anymore help; good luck!
