The problem with the 10 FPS is the video card. Intel's integrated GPUs are weak compared to AMD's integrated GPUs.

The AMD Radeon HD 8570D beats the Intel HD Graphics 4000 by far, so I think you can run ARMA II at high-ultra settings without problems with that PC.

Wow. Bro, did you buy Windows seperately? The seller does not provide the operating system for you.

PC you listed isn't fast by any means. If that's your budget then it won't be enough to run properly DayZ with decent framerate.

I already have a spare windows vista disc, i can use that

ConanDowns · Apr 25, 2014

My friend has the same pc and can run DayZ on ultra high at 20-30 fps

There are lots of tutorials on YouTube. It is also optional to get an anti-static wrap.

That CPU is old, it can run ARMA II, but I don't know if it can run it on Ultra settings.

If you are low on budget, I would suggest getting an AMD FX 6300 with a compatible AM3+ motherboard, it cost me less than £180 (Both together)

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/AMD-FX-6300-vs-AMD-Athlon-X4-750k

Look at the benchmark comparison, AMD FX 6300 dominates the AMD Athlon x4 750k by far. If you want even a cheaper CPU than the FX 6300, get an AMD Phenom II X4 965, it requires an AM3 motherboard, and it costs only £20 more than the Athlon x4 750k

If you have an i5 and 6gb of memory, then all you need is a graphics card. Since you are tight on money, I would recommend one of these:

$170: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127699
This graphics card will get you around 50fps on ultra settings

$110: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487026
This graphics card will get you around 35fps on high settings (educated guess)
