so i just recently bought a 500gb ssd since ive heard they benefit alot in startup time & performance. never really been a tech savvy kinda guy so wondering aside from the cpu if theres anything else that'll help make arma look/run better

for best Arma performance (in my opinion) upgrading priority is this:

- CPU - heavy affects frames for arma
- GPU - will get you better frames 
- RAM - need at least 8GB of ram IMO (faster=better)
- Motherboard - If your running a 7-8 year old motherboard, then that may be part of your issue. What good is a super fast GPU, CPU, and RAM if the bus lanes can't support the max component output?
- Hard Drive - SSD is always better then hard disk... putting in an SSD is probably the easiest / cheapest upgrade, but will likely not get you any better frames, only faster load times...
- Power supply - I only list this because PSU's are an odd animal... they don't just work / not work and are very hard to troubleshoot. Just make sure you have enough wattage to handle what you have. (also if your game crashes during times of heavy load and you've ruled out your GPU, PSU is a possibility of root cause...

Hope this helps, of course this is speculation as Arma is an odd animal when it comes to graphics...

Your specs are fine. upgrading the GPU will not affect arma 3 fps at all.  As for now, an SSD will help you with the loading times/Files being processed in game. 

 

You can always clean some files form PC that might affect cpu usage such as:

 

go to RUN -->  type:   %temp%   ---->    Delete all files you see

go to RUN -->  type:   prefetch   ---->     Delete all files you see   (might require admin verfy)

 

Increasing your graphic settings in game can actually help you get better FPS due to the fact arma 3 is based on CPU usage more than GPU, so forcing your graphics on GPU by increasing them will help you gain some FPS as well.

oddly enough, this is true... it helps balance the load on CPU and GPU giving prettier game experience and better frames....
