ArmA 3 Budget PC

[Austin Soles]

Is there a DECENT PC i could build for $1000 or less that can play arma 3 on at least high with 45+ fps?

Totally man! With todays technology stuff like this can be achieved pretty easily. The main thing you will want to spend your money on is the Graphics Card, I am using a 770 and Arma 3 runs at 30+ on ultra, tune down the setting a little bit and you will be golden. Don't worry too much about most other parts. 8gb of ram is the sweet-spot and an SSD would be nice if you really don't like loading times with Arma. Look in my signature for my build, cost around $1000 without OS.

Hope this helped!

I personaly have Corsair Vengeance @1600mhz, this ram is amazing and really well made. The patriots are also in the same ball park. I would go with either the Viper 3's or the Corsair Vengeance ram, both are great.

Hope this helps!
