Which Processor, mobo, memory?

Biohazard58 · Feb 4, 2014

im rebuilding a gaming pc that i built a few years back thats became pretty outdated so i gotta upgrade. i want to be able to play Arma 3 and dayz standalone with no issues. i already have a new 500gig Sata hard drive and a full version of windows 8.1. i would like to reuse my old GPU if it can handle it, its a BFG GTX-260. parts i need are a CPU,Motherboard, and Memory. i would like to use a AMD CPU and would like to come in around 300$ for the 3 parts. so my question is will my GPU handle the games or will it need upgraded? and if so which GPU do you suggest. and which CPU,MOBO,Memory do you suggest?

The gpu will need to be upgraded, it is not strong enough to play dayz and arma 3 without issues

That would be fine for medium gaming, for any more detail you would have to buy a better gpu. Thats as close as 4 parts can get to $300 for playing on medium

What would it take to play on full settings?

bluehowell · Feb 4, 2014

For dayz standalone an AMD R9 270 which would play Arma 3 on high but not ultra

Biohazard58 · Feb 4, 2014

But that mobo,CPU, n memory could keep up fine? What gpu would it take to go ultra? And I'm planning to use 8gb of memory. Also how is that mobo for overclocking

bluehowell · Feb 4, 2014

The mobo is good for overclocking. Arma 3 on ultra is very difficult you would probably need an 8350 and at least an R9 280x

im really looking into the 8350 and the R9 280x so i can play on ultra i also think that by using higher end parts ill be able to use the parts longer before they are out dated any other suggestions on other parts to use to play on ultra?
