i would get a higher clocked cpu tbh
For arma the i3 8350k would be a better choice for cheaper

The i5 8400 performs better than my old i5 4670 @3.4 GHz system which served me well for three years until I upgraded.

The i3 8350k is better though.

No computer is good enough to run multiplayer with more than 30 fps.

I beg to differ.
You'll want an SSD for arma3, ram i would max out to 16gb min with 3000+ freq.

Depends on your budget? Going off your link the i3 8350k would be the best choice based off thats builds price range! The new i3's have 4 cores and 4 threads making them like a upgraded version of a i5 7600k

How much fps in multiplayer would I get if I use the i3 though?

That all comes down to so many factors like gamemode, server hardware/internet,server pop and so on, but you will better geting more fps than anyone who has 7th gen intel and below due to the faster ipc of the 8th gens, e.g i have a i7 6700k and you would get more fps than me, and you would get the same fps as the i7 8700k <(in Arma 3)

Side note: like someone said above if you could atleast get 3000mhz ram as Arma loves faster ram and has shown to gain upto 15fps more going from 2133mhz to 3200mhz

Hope this helps

No CPU is enough. Especially since arma only uses 4 cores.

Incorrect.

Not necessary.

It's a good build but like others suggested you'll want a faster CPU for ArmA 3. The i3 8350K would be a better pick, combined with a good cooler you'll be able to overclock it to 5 GHz or close to that. Fast RAM and fast SSD are also important. Graphics card matters also but I'd say yours is fine for 1080p.

[JimmyRiddle]

Not for those prices. I built my p.c for 400 and its better in everyway except the G card.

Personally, I would ask when do you plan on upgrading again? Are you likely to have a budget for upgrade in 1 year, 2 years, 5 years etc? Just be mindful that ArmaA3 has hit the end of it's development path and it's going to be full steam ahead with ArmA4 which might be a year away.
What I'm trying to say is hold off as much as possible but if you really need something try and see if you can spend a little bit more if it means jumping up to the highest get of hardware.

I spent £2,000 (British Pound) on a computer 9 years ago. My PSU went, got a new one. Upgraded graphics card once. Upgraded cooler on my CPU. Added hard drives for capacity. Upgraded RAM.
I've probably spent £650-700 upgrading it in 9 years. Probably looking at another big upgrade on the 10 year mark, may need to spend another £300 before then. Is £300 a year good/bad investment in a gaming PC? I don't think so. Sure you might not have such huge money but making it stretch can make it more future proof.

the i5 8400 has 6 cores and its 4ghz per core. Thats pretty much overkill for this game. It would last him another 3 years.
