i was wondering if my pc specs can run Standalone at medium-high settings because im looking to build this but i need confirmation first.

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
Motherboard: ASRock 960GM/U3S3 FX Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Memory: Kingston XMP Blu Red Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Video Card: Asus Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB Video Card
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Thanks in advance :)
 

it will look decent even at medium settings. upping things like shadow quality would make it look prettier but will crumple the fps below playable levels. so medium would be all i would expect to run at on that build.

About the same level at that point, the 650 Ti being a bit faster. On the low end, I've seen people have more luck with the Radeon cards than Nvidia in DayZ/ArmA3. I'd try getting a 7790 to get an even price with the 650 Ti. If you can get a GTX 650 Ti 2GB Boost at a good price, go with that one hands down.

Yes. Your FPS in DayZ would love for you to double your VRAM (Video Memory) since it can use quite a bit of it. Getting the 650 Ti 2GB Boost sells for a bit higher than the standard 650 Ti 1GB, but if you can manage to find a sale or get it cheaper somewhere you'll be golden.

I was too at one point! The most I could afford to upgrade to from my GT520 was a Radeon 5770. Although it's a very weak card now, it still ran ArmA 2 at playable FPS. If you feel that you could afford the more expensive GPU in the future, wait for it. Took me some time but it was worth the wait to jump from 30fps maximum on medium to 50fps average on max, 80fps with view distance and AA turned down. You're welcome as well!

Yeah, most likely I'll have enough in about a few months or so. Another question, this is my first time actually building the pc on my own :eek: and I was wondering if it's really as easy as people say.

As long as you do your research beforehand on which CPU can take what socket, what PSU your parts need, or what connectors are needed, you'll be fine. As for actually installing it, there shouldn't be any difficulty there. Not all cases, motherboard, and graphics cards are shaped or designed the same, so don't be afraid to ever refer to motherboard and case documentation. That way you can make sure there's enough clearance for your parts, manage cables better, and build a system that'll last a while.

Even I still use the manuals, because even front panel headers aren't the same across all cases. Aside from using the manual and knowing that you have what you need it's an easy task. Time consuming, if you're a beginner, but still could take a few hours.

I have almost have the same specs except I have a gtx650 1gb non ti. Cpu overclocked to 4.0ghz and the gpu. I get 25-30 in elektro and 40-70 everywhere else. Most oft the settings are low except texture detail is on normal. I think it looks decent.
