Budget PC?

[killersky]

i am currently thinking of getting a pc which is fit to play arma with atleast high setting while having 60fps consistent.

the thing is while looking for parts etc i found out that alot of prebuilds are almost cheaper then buying the parts yourself.

so here is the question: prebuild or custom? and if prebuild then which one/if custom then what parts is recommended.

budget is between 800-1100 euro.

i am able to strip usable parts of my old pc.

Arma 3 is a very CPU intensive game so you'd be looking for something like an Intel i7-7700k or the Ryzen equivalent. And you should be sorted graphics wise with a Nvidia GTX 1060 or equivalent

Do you just want to play Arma 3 or other games also?

60 FPS arma is almost impossible on servers like rpuk when they are full

In Kavala.

Debateable.

Other places, I get 60 fps all the times and it lowers to 30-40 fps in Kavala so.@Simon Ross your theory is wrong.

Well from my experience on modded it is almost impossible...

But if I was you I would proritise CPU over GPU for arma, and get something like a 1060 as GPU and do rest on CPU

Idk if you posted somewhere else, but what parts do you currently have?

You're more likely to win the euro millions than to have 60fps on arma.

I made a quick build to give you a general idea. This won't allow you CPU oc tho since you haven't requested it. Also didn't include a case as you prolly have one already

It comes at around 1000 bucks which gives you room for some improvements if necessary

I guess if you look at the sky you get 60fps. 

In Kavala forget it, i guess the devs forgot to optimise it when making the game

jayray, i meant 60fps in singleplayer campaign and not on MP since it denpends on the server too.

i can strip off 2x 2tb hdd and 2x 128gb ssd .... and thats about it. the rest are way to outdated

So you need a case too? Are you planning on overclocking your cpu?

not really, and yes i do need a new case as the people who asemble my pc were complete weirdos, they stick the case together with nails so i cant really open it.

hahaha ok

Anyways as for the case any CoolerMaster / NZXR / Corsair will do. Depends on your taste
