Hi! I am new to pc gaming and i'm wondering how this pc will run games like DayZ, Arma 3, and maybe even Bf1? Thanks! (Side note, if you notice any parts on this pc that would bottleneck eachother alot, please tell me, thanks!) Arma 3 may be over the top in expectations though.

AMD is not a good idea, at this time. FX is 4yrs old, and AM3+ is a dead platform. The CX 600 is not a good PSU. Also, it is a bad time to buy a graphics card, with the RX 480 coming out, next week. This is a bit more expensive, but would be a better all around system. I would wait on that graphics card, though. RX 480 is going to be around $200, and is expected to be around a gtx 970/R9 390, performance wise. That would make this overall build cheaper.
