I've been searching around for someone to build a PC for me and there is literally nobody close to here. So I am looking into building or purchasing a computer with a I-7 or I-5 and nvidia graphics card. Would Arma 3 run good with an I-5? I saw a few computers I like on Cyberpowerpc.com Is this a good company or should I be leery about shortcuts? this is the computer i was thinking about: http://
Gaming is the only thing i will be using this for. thanks in advance

Around 1000. I gotta have some wiggle room for a monitor. Idk if those computers come with it all or not. I just can't figure out my own parts and which cpu and stuff fits certain boards. Like I said I have zero experience and nobody within 100 miles to build it

Later on if I decide to go with an I-7 I'm not sure if everything will be up to par like the power supply and graphics. Maybe I'm just worrying too much. I just don't wanna spend this $ then it not play arma well.

If you are careful both with your parts choices and during assembly, the odds of you being unable to play Arma well are quite low. The odds of you getting a much more powerful machine than what you linked, on the other hand, are quite high. $1,000 buys a lot of gaming computer.

Edit: For example:

Though I would advocate waiting for Haswell.
