I am looking for the absolute cheapest possible for this recommendation. Everything needs to be the cheapest you can find it, I am trying to build this monster PC for super freaking cheap, and no, I am not worried about graphics yada yada, just gameplay. These are the recommended requirements for ArmA2. Now, I would LOVE to keep this under 500$. at most 600$. Please dont comment that it cant be done, because I know people who wont tell me how, but they've made these PCs for like 350$ that can game ArmA like a boss. Thanks, and please respond fast!

You might want an i5 for Arma 2. It uses the CPU more than most games.

Add this, and remove the i3.

Okay then, ~$550. Still within budget.
