Im getting a PC, is it good enough to run Arma 3/Dayz Standalone on high?

AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 54.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
MSI 970 GAMING ATX AM3+ Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (Might bump it to 16 GB)
MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB TWIN FROZR Video Card
Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Short answer yes. This PC should be able to bust out high around 60fps. The nice thing about you buying a Nvidia GPU is that it come with their "GeForce Experience" software which automatically optimizes the games settings for you. In your case 8gb of ram is lots for gaming. If you are still wanting to make an upgrade to this machine then maybe a power supply with a gold plus rating for more efficient use or possibly a better CPU cooler. I myself have a Corsair H100 water cooler which is a breeze to install and would probably cost you just as much as the ram upgrade anyway. It would make a difference in that gaming would not slow down once thing get hot!

I'm not trying to bash AMD here, but this game has very bad hardware optimisation and uses only two cores. Since this game is VERY CPU intensive AMD's weaker cores will reduce the overall performance.

I would go with Intel if I were you, but overall its a great build, its just the Processor that would worry me.
