ARMA III Build?

[cqbcat]

Anyone got suggestions for a PC build oriented around the game 'ARMA III'? That's one of the few games that interest me the most on the PC platform and I'd like to have a system that can run it smoothly on decent settings. I don't need a beast, god tier system though. My budget is $800 to $900.

I already came up with a beastly build that's sitting in my Amazon shopping cart for around $1200. I guess I could save up my paychecks to get to that price, but something the 800-900 dollar range could be achievable for me in one month.

For that price range you want to go with something like this: [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1lTuE[/url]
With a case and video card added to it.

The G45-gaming is also a good motherboard with about the same price; it has better audio quality while the d3h has more USB and better BIOS.

If you want a better PSU, you can also go ahead and get this combo deal: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1326986[/url]

For the video card, it depends on where you would like to be in your budget range. The upper end would be a GTX 760. A cheaper 7850 or 7870 would probably do fine though (that would be my choice on your budget). I don't think ARMA III is going to be a demanding game, but I could be wrong.

Right below the system requirements, there is a small field where you can input what specs your computer will be using for a more specific answer.

Picture is kind of misleading. Arma 3 is a resource hog that would put even the the recommended requirements in that picture to shame, especially in multiplayer. Let alone modes like wasteland.

Unless you plan on turning around and selling cheaper parts to upgrade your build when you get another paycheck, I would seriously consider waiting until you have $1200-$1400 to give some breathing room. Maybe the devs will optimized Arma a bit more by then too.
