So ive got a few builds ready to take into consideration but im not sure where i stand, exactly, pertaining to reference level of PC builds. So my question is, whats the lowest cost build of a PC that can run, say, DayZ (example) considerably well? Id like to compare to my other possible builds to see if im heading into the right direction! Thank you!

How low is your budget? And do you prefer AMD or NVIDIA GPU?

I was thinking around $450. Only for now until i upgrade but in the meantime i would like to run games pretty well. I prefer AMD.
