Alright! So, I am buying a new PC soon, and came across this. I was just wondering how the PC sounds, and how it would run DayZ Standalone, DayZ ARMA 2 Mod, Arma 2 and Arma 3? If you could give an estimate of how many FPS at ______ settings, that would be very much so appreciated! This most definitely wont be the only games I play, but they will most likely be the most intensive games. Thank you so much!

yeah i know the feeling man, was underbudget on mine by about £200 after a good 4 months of research and following price drops...enjoy your build !! :)
Yeah but the one listed at maingear.com uses the shitty reference cooler. It's still the same card, but it's using a different cooler. The reference cooler of the 280X is REALLY REALLY bad. It will run very hot and still be really noisy at the same time. The one I listed has better cooling.
The one at CyberpowerPC gives you the option to use the HIS IceQ cooler which is much better than the reference cooler.
