Hello. I was wondering if someone can build me a PC on pcpartpicker that would run dayz standalone to high settings at about 50+ FPS. My budget is $1500 Before mail-in rebates. I need everything but a keyboard, mouse and headset so please include the os and monitor.
Also, don't go up to $1500 if you don't have to. If it will run the settings/FPS I said above, I am ok with that. Thanks in advance :D

Something you could start with. DayZ might be hard to find a system to run on high settings 50fps+ constantly. You'll probably experience frames drops running into cities and what not I think. I haven't played it in a while, so I don't really know for sure. But This system would probably do fairly well.

Relatively the same build.

Probably could sacrifice on the psu to a bronze unit like the XFX 650w(this one is probably better) or the Supernova NEX 750w bronze and move budget to a slightly better motherboard(like the build I posted). Bronze vs Gold is efficiency anyways.

I think the case shouldn't be a huge priority, but your choice.

You can save $270 by reducing to a single GPU. This build is built for Ultra 1080p on ALL games.

My criticism of Xtreme's build is that the Athlon will bottleneck the SLI 760s. Athlon builds are usually budget builds of ~500$. It's too heavy on one thing rather than being a bit more balanced in my opinion. You have a good GPU set up, and a strong PSU to support it, but a weaker CPU. Even overclocking it wouldn't do it that much better.

Reason for 750w power supply is to crossfire in the future...also, what mobo do you suggest around the $100 range?(pls no more than $110 tho

CPU isn't needed too much for gaming in my opinion. I don't see how it would bottleneck. As long as you have 4 cores and 3GHz for CPU (with proper GPU,RAM, and PSU of course) you can basically take anything gaming throws at you.

I actually have to disagree with your CPU logic.

I went from a Athlon II x4 630 @3.1ghz to a FX 8350 @4ghz. Of course, there are multiple factors that really increased my frame rate. But I was using a radeon 5750 at the time and I still had a nice leap in frame rates with the upgrade.

I would recommend the Pentium g3258 over the athlon x4 760k due to performance for cost and the fact that the pentium has l3 cache over the athlon. The pentium has a stronger Single thread performance which is what most games utilize anyways. The extra cores are a plus, but it's really the single thread performance that really matters as of now.

Oh, thank you for the correction. I thought overall performance was better than single core performance.

As far as I know, gaming is more reliant on the single core performance. Even if it needs more cores/threads, the single threaded performance is really what really matters right now. It might change when dx12 comes in or when mantle becomes more popular and better optimized and what not.
