Can someone advice me on what card i should get. Please know that i also do a lot of video rendering and record and livestream. (not sure if that matters for video cards)

if you want to max the games you need a GTX 970 or better. 960 is a slow card. low to medium-high settings.
well the 7860 isnt the best anymore go with a gtx 960 or a gtx 970, or on the amd side go with a 280x or a 290 you wont get FPS on arma since its not very good optimized i have 7950 3gb boost with fx 8320 at 4.0 ghz everything on low and i never hit 38fps

Any recommendation on wich 970? their is like 30 different ones in newegg
 


the 960 is a great card go for it its a good card it competes with the 280x but its slighly slower, for dayz you can play in high but youll get terrible FPS because the games is not optimized
