needs a minimum 550W PSU
That's worst case scenario. The biggest spec to pay attention to is how many amps the psu can deliver on the 12v rails combined.

Yeah, ARMA's a tough one on hardware sometimes. I keep hearing about it tho. I might have to give it a go.

It is with out a doubt one of the best games evermade, not just arma the operation flashpoint series, arma is pretty much just and updated version of them. Hours and hours of gameplay, you can make your own battle and the community produces an endless supply of mods and addons. Also the netcode has improved DRASTICLY and 64 player co-op is an AWESOME experience if you ask me
