    500 is fairly low for a gaming PC build, DayZ is a fairly demanding game (especially the new standalone).
    CPU and GPU are going to be your biggest costs (depending on how powerful you go),
    RAM is not as important (just get a good brand),
    Disks are up to yourself, 1TB HDD goes for €60-€80 these days.
    Motherboards are important if you plan to upgrade later, spend a bit more now for the ports and performance you may need later. i.e. you may think about doing SLI later when you get a bit more money.

    Alternatively, I know there is a guy in Tallaght on Adverts that does cheap-ish gaming PC's for people, he has loads of products to choose from.

    "Pricespy" (google it) is handy to see if youre getting the best deal,
    CPUBoss, GPUBoss and SSDBoss are handy to see how the cards you'd be getting compare (useful for Nvidia vs AMD).
