This is going to be my first pc and I'm looking for a pc that can run dayz and arma2/3 really good, I will be posting videos to youtube and I'm going to play the games aswell as live stream them to twitch tv, I would prefer to pay around £850 but my budget is a bit over max £1000 I will also need a mouse and keyboard and a mic. Thanks.
 
Exceeded your budget by 70 pounds but it's a good machine for gaming :)
