I've been trying to run DayZ but I had to run it at the low settings and it was still laggy.
Here is a list of my PC parts and the recommended parts according to canyourunit.com

This thing is like 2 years old. I was thinking I have to upgrade the ram, if so does it matter what type of ram I get? I noticed my processor is lacking. Would it be wise to upgrade that instead of my video card? Please hurry time sensitive (black friday deals)

RAM and graphics, don't necessarily have to upgrade the graphics, but if you do, you're set for a good year or two. You can get a 560 gtx for 130 on newegg, a good deal for the performance.
But if you only want to upgrade one aspect of your computer, definitely the RAM. You can get 4-8 gigs for 25-50 dollars. Just check your memory to see which ones you need/can run.
The Arma2 engine is very cpu heavy, so upgrading that should help. You shouldn't need to upgrade your graphics card but more ram should help too.
