What would you recommend me change? I'm very open to ideas. I don't plan on buying everything soon. It may be a month. Just needing ideas and an idea of how much money I will have I spend on this.

A couple things.

1. DayZ is currently a buggy nightmare (it's in Alpha) that's badly optimized and therefore requires stronger parts than it really should.

2. Don't use an APU, get a normal CPU since you plan to add a graphics card anyway. APUs like the A4 Trinity have built in graphics, which increase the cost but won't help performance with a normal graphics card anyway,

3. The power supply is overkill, even considering upgrades.

These would be my revised changes that hit the DayZ recommended specs, though keep in mind DayZ is badly optimized right now and is going to run worse than expected on just about anything.

If you list a budget, we'd be able to work with it better.

Well, from $400 to $500 can make a pretty noticeable difference.
Do you need a mouse, keyboard, monitor, Windows, etc, included in the price?

I don't need a mouse or keyboard at the moment and I would need a monitor. That isn't included in the price. It is going to take me a month or so to get the money for pc so I want a rough estimate of how much I need. I would stretch the budget to a high of $600 but I want the cheapest I can go but still having a great feel to playing
