Okay, I was able to fix it. I just had to reset the slot, cuda, and opencl number for the gpu. Simple fix, except when you don't know what your doing.

Waiting for parts to arrive, the anticipation is terrible.

Well there is H1Z1, DayZ mod (many different variants), and Dayz Standalone. I'll assume your referring to the DayZ standalone. The two games are very similar: zombie apocalypse, scavenging supplies, and a lot of KOS. DayZ has a lot more varying items in it and is continually expanding, but the devs are known for being sloooooooooow. DayZ does have great graphics though and looks quite amazing. Although I think without proper base building DayZ gets old really fast as it turns into a super slow paced shooter game (in my opinion). H1Z1 though is also a good game and it included vehicles quickly (DayZ is still working on that), and seems to be more simple but more complete in its simpler way. I don't know which I would say is better as I don't play either very much any more (maybe H1Z1 at the moment?). (I got tired of playing apocalypse games) This is a link to the Dayz Changelog which shows all updates and updates currently being worked on. http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Changelog?cookieSetup=trueNot sure if H1Z1 has something like it though.

PCI need die... die, die, die!!!!!

I hear these are decent, but I have never tried them myself although I use headphones by the same company.

CPU/RAM/GPU:
 
Are you going to be rendering many 1080p+ videos a week? Or making good money off of rendering? 
 
If not, I'd stay away from an i7, get 8GB of ram, and use the money for a better GPU. i5s render fine for a couple videos a week, and you will be more satisfied with higher framerates from a 970 or 980. 
 
Motherboard:
Any motehrboard over 200 is not necessary. MSI Gaming 5 or Gigabyte Gaming 5 or Asus Z97-A are all great.
 
PSU:
Get a 500 watt corsair HX series or EVGA Supernova.
 
Storage:
Any build over 1K should have at least a 128Gb SSD for the OS drive. 
 
Case:
Good case listed below, but yeah, 100 will get a great case
 
Optical drives:
Unless you need them.... dont bother. At worst, get a $16 LG or Asus DVD drive. 
 
OS:
No need for Pro version for normal use, unless you know the exact differences and have a reason, theres no need really.
