Thanks! 280 isn't going to get you a good cpu and good motherboard, if I were you I'd just go for the motherboard first. If I were you I'd buy a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1N83UD9927&cm_re=asus_maximus_viii_hero-_-13-132-565-_-Product and completely rebuild the computer as soon as more cash was available. That mobo supports DDR4, and the newer Intel CPUs. I have the previous version of this mobo and I've had no issues at all. It's an investment but in the future it will be able to support everything you want to put in it to be able to play Arma as well as you can. Twang likes this Link to comment

Tusken Raider Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 If you get any Intel i5 5500k or higher you have to get a new motherboard because of 1151 socket type which only supports ddr4 ram. Link to comment

Thanks! yeah I get 60fps on ultra with an Intel 6700k 3.4ghz no overclocking or anything. I also have the overclock edition Turbo 970 gpu and i dont even use the overclock at all I still get 60 frames on ultra.. So i recommend intel you don't need the 6700k but you may be able to find one on sale now that the holidays are coming. motherboard doesnt matter I have a piece of shit and it runs great just doesnt have much room for additional upgrades but you can always upgrade to a better motherboard down the road. i'd focus on the CPU for now.

Don't listen to this guy. I actually did a lot of research and built an arma specific pc that gets me 70 fps standard and still looks amazing with optimized settings. get: i5 6600k and overclock that shit. air tower cooler decent mobo ddr4 ram with good speed. You don't need 16 gigs for arma since the engine is hard coded to only use 2 for some retarded reason. Get like 8 but if your going to play other shit then get 16 Scott likes this Link to comment
instamac Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Make sure the parts you buy are compatible with one another and your power supply is adequate for the new parts you pick. This website makes it very easy to make sure everything is compatible, just search and add all the new parts and parts you're not replacing and it will show if they are compatible. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ Link to comment
