Do you run ARMA III from your SSD? If not, that might be worth looking at. Certainly improved the fluidity of my game a whole lot.

Otherwise you should probably turn your eyes towards a new CPU. Any Haswell i5 should probably do you good - the i5-4690k would probably suit you well. If you wish, it's overclockable (h)as well (see what I did there?  :p ).

Be wary that you might require a PSU that delivers more watts if you look into upgrading both your CPU and GPU.

In regards to the cpu, seeing as you already have one - wait till June, new cpus from intel will be available around then (broadwell).

GPU is fine, better off waiting on what AMD release in a month or two before making any decisions on that. SLI is shit for Arma, so an additional 760 won't make much sense.

Perhaps a bigger SSD, the prices are coming down all the time and gaming really does improve across the board with one, so perhaps a 500GB SSD if you can stretch that far?

Honestly, you're better off waiting a couple of months as there will be new hardware from Intel and AMD to pick from at that point.

 
1. Do you run ARMA III from your SSD? If not, that might be worth looking at. Certainly improved the fluidity of my game a whole lot.

1. Will switch it to SSD once I get home2. Noted (it took me 20 min to see it but I see what you did there)

Thanks for the help!
