Ironsides

I don't know if this is the correct place to put this but here goes! I just recently custom built a new PC and even more recently got turned onto all things Arma. I've been playing off and on for about 5 months (wondering where this game has been all my life) but I have yet to tame the beast that is optimal graphics settings. I have scoured endless forums and posts about the best settings trying some and afraid to try others with mixed results. Generally, on below avg settings I can get decent gameplay with no major hiccups and better results in OA than vanilla Arma2. However, my biggest problem is occasional zoom lag and I think lod issues. I tried to fix it first by striping my 2 500gb dives and then moving the entire thing over to my 60gb ssd. I generally do ok but I get tired of hiccups and lag around AI. I know there is a bottleneck somewhere but I can't seem to completely alleviate it. Any help would be much appreciated here are my specs.
