It`s a decent budget build, but I don`t like the PSU.
I think you would be better off if you would go with something like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

Looks nice. Should be able to run anything at 1080p at high settings (DayZ is unoptimized crap so nothing can really run it smoothly at ultra settings). I would only change the PSU for a better one, for example this:

Im not too sure if the cpu cooler you have gonna fit in that case, also get a better psu, i reccomend the evga 600b, is a cheap and great psu.

I strongly advise against EVGA PSU's. They are thirdparty manufactured and will bombard your components with not so clean energy.

I have to disagree, EVGA makes some solid units. Their budget lines of PSU may not be the best but offer good price and solid performance. Their more expensive lines of psu are considered top of the line, but for a premium price of course.

Am I the only one who hates that motherboard?

If you want to play DayZ I strongly suggest going intel. That game doesn't like AMD.
