decent computer for games like dayz

Sagesblade · Apr 30, 2015

Hey guys can someone help me look for a good prebuilt desktop/laptop that will run dayz, minecraft, csgo, and other gmod games at a pretty good quality? Im not on a specific budget, but looking more towards 1000$ and under, thanks. I have no clue what i need really.

I'm not sure I'd choose a PNY card for anybody who had other options, but other than that, it looks ok to me. Might add a few case fans to that since the Tesseract BF only comes with a single rear exhaust fan, and that's really not enough cooling for any system using a gaming card.

This right here^
Also are you talking about DayZ Standalone or the mod? Because DayZ standalones engine is terrible, my friend with a 980 can't even go above 30 FPS, not to mention the stutter...

Isn't that game still under dev, and has a notice saying there will be bugs and what not? Or are we talking about arma iii with dayz pack thing

dayz standalone has been in dev since dec 2013 or thereabouts.

The piece of garbage has been in Alpha since 2013. The devs have become too stupid to finish the game. The engine is just god awful.
