I just wanna get a new computer to run this and a few other games.

And if you wanna talk about crappy graphics cards, the computer I have right now came with a GeForce 7300 LE.

Why don't you build one from scratch? You'll save a lot of money.

How would one go about that?

General rule, the second number in the graphics card numbers tells you how good it is. Don't go for less than a 6.

I.e. Radeon 5770 > Radeon 7470 or GTX 570 > GTX 640

Also, exchange the crappy Dual Core Pentium with a Core2Duo or Quad. And indeed build it from scratch, you probably already have a case and PSU, just eed a mobo, a cpu, graphics card and RAM. 200$.

Setup a pc online.

Order the parts.

Put them together.

If you don't know how to actualy build it. I recommend asking a friend or relative that is more into this kind of stuff.

How much did this cost?

Your CPU is a overkill. Better to go with i5 and getting SSD.

[YESbrah (DayZ) 10]

Replace CPU and GPU(you're going to need a new motherboard as well), and judging by your build I'm assuming your RAM isn't ddr3, so I'd replace that stuff too. So you're probably going to have to buy a whole new build.

Although the SSD isn't really necessary, it's really nice to have, everything runs faster OS wise.
