Building a gaming PC

[lmorphine]

I am looking to build a gaming PC between the ranges of 500-800$. I am not particularly into PC games, and the only game I will be looking to play will be Dayz. I would like to run dayz on atleast high with 50+ frames.

I am also thinking i5 processor, and the possibility of a SSD depending on the price ranges.

Thanks!

DayZ murders even high end gaming PCs. You'll never be able to get a consistent 50fps with a PC in that price range

Sir, that build looks like something amazing. Is that a good motherboard? Anything a little better for a little more? I can work on the budget a little.

Nope. Even GTX 780s and 780tis struggle with DayZ

DayZ is a horribly optimized piece of crap

Let me put it this way I can even do 1000$ if the computer will be that much better


PS. I just want to mention I am currently playing Dayz on a HP Envy laptop. I can play with no problem so I think anything will probably be better than what I can do now.
