With ARMA3, you should get playable frames with low settings at 720p --- 1080p will likely struggle but might be playable. Either way, you load-up with some serious mods and/or raise the eye candy, it ain't happenin'.

 

This is a great build but I would personally swap the power supply for an XFX or Seasonic power supply as the Corsair CX series of power supplies use poor capacitors!

if you don't want integrated graphics, try this build. same CPU, but without the integrated GPU. Instead, theres a R7 370 card. All prices are from Germany.

I noticed that park picker says" The Zalman ZM-T3 MicroATX Mini Tower Case supports video cards up to 300mm long, but video cards over 250mm may block drive bays. Since the MSI Radeon R7 370 2GB Video Card is 255mm long, some drive bays may not be usable." will this be a problem or can this be fixed?
 
its not really a problem here is a picture with a 300mm card in it:

you can see its close to the drive bay, which is not at the usual angle. Put in the drive and its cables to the motherboard before you put in the GPU.

what is blocked is some of teh 2.5" SSD drive bays:

you see that some are right below where the GPU would be.
