Wanting to build a gaming PC for dayZ, Need help :)

[Rayylmao]

So i was going to buy a pre-built but loads of people have told me not to but i have no idea where to start and was hoping for some help with parts and what not. My budget would probs be around 900 GBP (1415 USD 12/12/14) So any help would be greatly appreciated :)

*And i know the game is poorly optimized but it wont just be for dayz and i will want to record too :) thanks

Don't buy a PC for DayZ specifically. It's an Alpha, thus unoptimized and simply wont use much of what you buy.

Build a PC that makes sense. Budget and performance wise.

[TheVillain]

Build a PC that can play A3, if it can run A3 it can run DayZ.

That wasn't meant to rhyme...

[nameless]

Corsair K70 mechanical keyboard cherry
ASRock H97M Pro4 Motherboard
Intel i7-4790K processor
Crucial M550 SSD 512GB HD
MSI Geforce GTX 970 video card

Cleaned. Do not derail threads with nonsense.

my cpu is 8 years old and I have a GTX650 graphics card.

I run DayZ on High settings and it looks amazing, so you dont need to go broke.

If you have never built a rig google and have a PC near by that you can Google as needed. Things you need:

Tower-go ahead and get a full size tower the factory dell style wont fit all the stuff you need

Motherboard-Go intel(have read forums Dayz will run better plus better processer allaround) if you can, I use AMD quad and dont have many problems but will be switching to intel soon. Pay attention to how may Graphic slots it has, make sure it is SLI compatable so you can like Graphic cards for furture updates. also pay attention to USB slots

Processor-as above i use AMD quad which will run 125ish USD. But go intel and save you some trouble...dont go cheap you need a good processor for good preformance. processors can be updated later without affecting much

Ram-spend a bit more and start with atleast 1 8gig chip, later you can just buy more chips and get to 32g without have to waste your money on buying 2-4g chips

Power supply-Depends on what your gonna run but if you get a 850watt you should be good for most anything

Hard drive-I use 2...1 for windows and 1 for gaming. You can get a 1 teribyte for around 75USD

Graphics card-Pay attention to intel or AMD compatible. Again the more it cost the better it is. I have a Geforce 760 and can run 3 small sceens ok. make sure you buy one that is compatable with SLI so you can buy another one later (usually has to be the exact same Graphics card).

Operating System-You will have to buy a disk or dl to a flash drive and get a key code (building costume rigs dont come with installed operating systems). Launch new rig enter BIOS and choose launch order to load from disk/flash drive

Optional/later upgrades:

Sound card-your mother board will come with sound output built in

fans/cooling packs-several ways of keeping computer cool...i just keep the side off of it

cdrom-most games are going to DL versions from steam and what not but you may want it. I use the one from my old dell due to having a windows disc and needed if for install

burner-always good to have around but you can buy external and usb it in

Gaming keyboard/mouse/pad-nice to have for quick acess to commands

UPS-battery back up so if you lose of power you have X amout of time to close it down and it gives protection from lighting

I use Newegg.com to locate parts and read reviews but if copy item you want and google it usually you can find it cheapier somewhere else. Once you get all parts in assemble computer in a clean area NOT ON CARPET!!! static can fry electronics...dont be afraid of it you can buy a wrist band that you clam onto the case and you wont have to worry about it. Once you have it build and ready to turn on it can get frustrating..you will end up restarting due to window updates all the time. The hardest part for me is to find the driver that attatches your mother board to the internet (this is where you need other computer) some boards come with a driver disk (again where you will need a cdrom). After your up and going.....get a antivirus Norten/AVG ect..and I like to have a driver finder program that i can just scan for updated drivers and install but that is up to you.

This is a big task but if you have a bit of common since and patience you can do it and you will learn alot along the way.

I have only built 2 rigs from nothing but upgraded several different rigs. Others may have different ideas/opions but it is really up to you how much you want to spend.
