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!

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.

Maybe later you want to upgrade to 8 GB ram and FX-8320 cause dayz requires good cpu, for now just the FX-6300

You're welcome, and BTW the OS and ODD will cost you 100$ more,so how about buying an 8 gigs USB and load it with a bootable copy of windows ISO ?
