So, will this run this game?

[British_and_Proud]

Hello people. I am going to be getting the GTX 770 Palit Jetstream, upgrading from 8570D and 8470 Dual graphics.

My CPU is AMD A8 APU @3.5GHz. Will my cpu be able to handle this Gfx card?

I'm also upgrading from a 300 W PSU to a 750W Corsair.

Will this graphics card run Arma 3 on high or Ultra with over 60 FPS? or at least something decent such as 40 FPS?



And finally, my AMD i have at the moment ; The drivers keep crashing and recovering. Any help?

Please don't bump posts. Especially not within 20 minutes. Add extra detail to the post (which A8?), or make the title more descriptive - SS

No, your CPU is the limiting factor, it'll bottleneck the GTX 770 if i were you i'd upgrade the CPU to any 4th gen i5, i'd recommend the 4670K

I suppose so. I've got other things I want to buy so wasn't exactly looking to buy a new CPU. Also, i'm not sure; Are CPU's hard to install? (Any drivers as well?)

My budget is currently £400 - £450 for the PSU, GFX and CPU.

SO, i think the I5'll be alright, i don't mind that, but does that mean i have to replace my heatsink and fan?

Yes, you'll have to change you heatsink and fan, a cheap and good quality one would be the: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, and no you dont need to download drivers for a processor, but you'll need to change the motherboard aswell.
Good Luck

Yup, i've decided to go for an AMD FX - 8350 With a Gigabyte Mobo.

Thanks for the suggestion for the Fan, appreciated
