500 dollar pc that can run arma 3?

angelbenoit · Nov 25, 2016

are there any good deals on black friday/cyber money? I would like my pc to be able to run arma 3 exile on normal settings or above. Also, if i have an i5-3450 on my current pc, can i use it on a new build? or do i need a new one, it's almost 5 years old. I have a samsung moniter and keyboard and mouse.

A 5yr old used cpu is usually pretty weak and depreciated due to constant use. Depends also on what your usage has been. Better to build a new pc from scratch.

Arma III Recommended Requirements
CPU: Intel Core i5-2300 or AMD Phenom II X4 940 or better
CPU Speed: Info
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7 SP1
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 or AMD Radeon HD 7750 with 1 GB VRAM or better

This should be able to play what you are looking for. Slightly over budget though.

The stock cooler that comes with the cpu should be plenty.
