Any less than this and it's really not worth it, this system can barely do what you want to do.

Systems in this price range also can't stream DayZ. You need atleast an i5 4670K for that and even the i5 struggles.

Alternative build with 1x4GB RAM, this games better than the other system but will require you to purchase another 4GB RAM in the future to go up to 8.
