if you haven't actually purchased it yet, i'd suggest you stay away. it's a piece of junk and you'd be better off building your own system.

The video card sucked when it first came out in 2011.

Looking at this spec page tells me the PC's video card should be upgradable.

"1 ( 0 ) x pci express x16"

The CPU is descent low-end but I am not sure how well it will play ARMA/DayZ. Probably okay on Low detail to maintain a descent frame rate.

Whatever PC you buy, make sure you get at least 14 days/30 days to use and return it without penalty. You want to know that it it will serve your needs before committing to it. Walmart.ca gives you 14 days with a PC. I dont see any mention of restocking fees so beware. I've had good experiences with returning PC parts at BestBuy USA, but I have never bought/returned a desktop PC. Newegg.com gives 30 days to return with a possible 15% restocking fee.

Also, make sure the PC has an open PCI-Express slot because most "Gaming PCs" below the $600 price point come with video cards that are absolute shit.

For $800 this machine is a bit better in terms of CPU/RAM/VIDEO. I don't know much about that brand of PC though. The "Cyberpower" name gives me a Dell/Acer/HP vibe but I con't comment on the quality of their machines.

you can build your own pc for under $700 and run BF3 on high and DayZ med-high. I built my pc and it came out to $648

I highly recommend to build a computer yourself or if you don't know how to, get a friend to do it for you. Its just a lot cheaper that way.

Most of the cheap pre-set computers are simply "not good". But I guess this one will do if you upgrade the graphics card.
