Upgrade help needed..

I´m looking to "making my pc great again" but need some help.

This is where i´m at now..

As Jetrise I'm thinking it is the RAM that is the bottleneck?

Any thoughts?

16GB RAM should be sufficient? I know the speed is a massive contributor to performance in ArmA...

Is that ddr3? Might be part of the problem if it is.

Not sure it tells us much. I ran the same benchmark and it shows my components versus same model
in other people's rigs. That's what you need to check. If your component is miss configured or bottlenecked that's where it should show up. J

I´m looking at RAM and  processor. RAM I got a handle on but.. I need help finding best i5 or i7 processor for motherboard for ivy bridge (model no. P8Z777-V-LX2)

Check this out:

My mate advised that the i5 8th Gen (which is considerably cheaper than the i7) is more than sufficient for the job.  He tried to explain it to me but all I heard was blah blah blah, Arma uses blah blah Cores and i7 wont give you any better performance.

So here is the thing.. Coz my pc is getting so old, When I change one part, I have to change another part as well.
For example If I want to upgrade my CPU, my motherboard is so old, I almost need to upgrade it too to benefit from one of the cpu's on the market right now .
Same with the RAM if I upgrade my motherboard I can go from DDR3 to DDR4.

So to do a real upgrade I have to upgrade it all.. The motherboard, The RAM, The CPU, The CPU cooler, and so on... AHHHHH Shoot me pls

It did look like you needed to consider a new mb and hardware upgrade. £££.

Your GPU. Ssd will likely be ok to start with though. J
