For $230, it's easy to find a good CPU but not with a good GPU. the only thing is you can go for an apu. if i were you, i would go for the latest a10 7850k kaveri($185). It's better than 5800k. But, if you don't want an apu you can get fx 6300($110) and r7 260x($120). If you are willing to spend extra 30-40 bucks, go for either gtx 750ti($150) or r7 265($160)

I made some changes that would benefit you. 7700k is much better than a10 5800 becuase of r7 graphics as opposed to 8670d. You motherboard was too expensive for your budget constraints. I choose 2100mhz ram cards which helps alot with new 7700k HSA. Went for an extra 250 gb more. XFX psu is 80+ plus certified and much more reliable in general.

Yup, a10 7700k is quite good too. but if you plan to upgrade to a better graphic when you have the money in the future, choose fx 6300 instead of apu because when you buy maybe a mid to high end GPU soon, you will waste the iGPU in that APU. Oh another thing, have you already bought that ram? Man, you can't get the best out of the apu with only 1600mhz. You need at least 1866mhz ram for apu

Lol, so am I. GPU is basically the graphic card, cpu is processor, and apu is cpu+gpu in one processor like all amd A-series. Sorry for not explaining it first

Yup, all of these guys suggestions will fit together with your motherboard. Yes, i recommend you to use better ram with higher MHz. The one you post is 1600mhz ram. You can go with either 1866mhz ram or 2133mhz

Oh, i said that. I just suggest you to buy amd fx 6300 (processor only) together with radeon r7 260x (graphic card) instead of amd a10 5600k(that you post) or a10 7700k (ak47 suggest). because if you want to upgrade to better graphic card, you will waste the good integrated graphic card in the amd a10 since the system will disable the integrated card.

If anything needs to be changed please comment and again thanks to every one and remember i am building this computer for DAYZ will it be good on high setting it better.... I will stay up another 2-3 hours waiting a response i want to order today so i can get by saturday. Also wanted to say how much would a disk driver cost for playing disk games

For your price range, you will be hard pressed to do better. So, yes it will work fine and will give you solid performance on dayz on medium detail.
