Hello,
I will be saving up for my pc this summer and so after. I have steam on my parents computer along with Dayz standalone, Fallout New Vegas,possibly Arma 2 and 3, aswell as Chivalry or Counter Strike GO. I am planning on saving $600 to $800 to buy my whole setup and may be willing to put in an extra $50. So what should I buy because I want this to last for a couple of years and I want to be able to play the games I have listed on high quality especially Day Z Standalone. Any suggestions?
P.S I think I'm going to build it myself once I have the parts given monitor, motherboard, CPU, GPU, RAM, Storage, Keyboard. Etc.

You will need to make some cutbacks in the above example if you need a monitor/windows included in the budget...

I changed the graphics card for a much cheaper one but it should still play at 1080 on medium settings.

I really just need Arma games and Day Z Standalone game to be played on High and or Ultra settings. Do any of the above listed meet the requirements? I would like to get at least 40fps?
