This is my third thread here, with my (hopefully) final decision on my entry level gaming PC for games like DayZ, CS: GO, Arma, etc. I'd also like some info on what sort of other stuff this can run well thanks

Can someone also give me advise on building, which order to put everything in the case, etc. First time building.

A R9 270x would be a good choice for a GPU. The rest of the build is fine. 

 

You should install the CPU, RAM, and CPU cooler outside of the case, then put the motherboard in. Don't forget about the I/O shield and motherboard standoffs if they aren't preinstalled.

 

 

EDIT: And yea AMD CPU's aren't exactly great compared to Intel ones.

That's not supposed to do that....

You mentioned DayZ, and Arma.

 

Those are the two games known most for NOT LIKING AMD CPUS.

 

Check out the performance of that Athlon X4 on the two games before buying.  If you are happy then it'll serve you.

 

Your build is good but the games aren't for AMD.

 

Buy a slim Case fan for that Zalman case as you would want a front fan and it only supports slims in the front...

(or switch out the case for something with non-slim support) 

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.
