Hey guys, I want to build this pc but i want to make sure it will run newer games like arma and battlefield with high fps:

CPU-AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
Motherboard-Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard
RAM-G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage-Crucial M500 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive,
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
GPU-Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2GB Video Card
PSU-Silverstone Strider Essential 400W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply
Case-BitFenix Shinobi ATX Mid Tower Case.

My budget is $1000 could go a little higher.

Arma and DayZ SA are both CPU intensive so you're going to want a better CPU. Battlefield is GPU intensive so you'll probably want a better GPU. I don't know if you want to overclock so i put both options. I would probably drop the SSD and get a better GPU, as the SSD won't add anything to gaming performance, just load times. But I put in options with or without anyway.

I have the same processor and a weaker GPU and it runs those games maxed out. If you're playing the standalone version of DayZ and not the mod then expect bad performance, at it's current state it is really unoptimized.

This is the cheapest one I'd look at. I can show you some more if you're willing to spend more. This is a great mobo however
