I made this build and was wondering if it was any good for playing DayZ Standalone at around medium settings with more than 30fps.

It has an APU, which I know is not the best for gaming but from what i have heard, this one is alright.
The motherboard allows me to upgrade to a dedicated GPU at a later time.
This is my first proper gaming PC and my budget is not high, could you tell me if this is good? And if you want to try build one for me, my budget is £360!

I would just upgrade to the newer APU:

Everything else looks fine. That PSU isn't the best quality but at this budget you don't have many other options.
 

I personally like the build, and it should definitely play DayZ Standalone at decent settings.
