arma3newb

Thanks for the reply, Well thats just it, I have some free hardware for him, should I bother to give it to him? If I had an i5 combo i'd give it to him, but I don't, only the fx 6300 combo.He's on a budget and can afford to upgrade the vid card,but thats about it.So should I let him linger on Arma2 with his present hardware or give him what I've got and let him give Arma 3 a go??

Hi, Not currently playing arma3 yet,trying to help a friend out. He's currently playing arma2 but wants to get into arma3. Arma2 plays fine on his outdated system ( phenomII 945 3.0ghz,4gigs ddr2,gf gtx 460). I offered him some of my spare parts kicking around for free,mainly fx6300,with motherboard and 8 gigs ddr3 .We'd re-use his gf 460gtx until he can afford a new vid card.( I do have a 560ti for him if it helps).Was thinking a geforce 750ti would be affordable. Would arma3 play acceptably on this system ? or should he bite the bullet and buy an i5 combo?I'm aware i5 is the way to go for this game,but it's not in budget. Is the i5 better when in multiplayer only or is it better in single player as well? Would a high clock i3 be better than the fx 6300?What vid card is better for Arma3, geforce or radeon? Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong forum and offended anyone,but getting zero replies where I posted earlier just trying to help a friend out. Thanks.
