Thinking of getting ArmA, few questions.

Good units/maps/weapons though, same with Private Military Company.

She-Wolf: if you do decide to spend your pennies, DO NOT buy the individual games (Arma2 and Arma2: Operation Arrowhead). 99% of stuff (mods, servers, etc) for Arma nowadays requires Arma2: Combined Ops - this is the one to get. It contains both Arma2 and Op Arrowhead in one pack, so not only ensures your access to latest servers etc, but will save you a titanic amount of hassle if you decide to add mods (DayZ for example) further down the line as well.

BAF & PMC DLCs will work fine with Combined Ops too.

Just bought CO on sale, however in my library it is seperated as Arma2 and Arma Op. Arrowhead. Which one would I install the mod DayZ onto?

Install both (A2 & OA), patch it and install DayZ via Six-Updater:
