Guild Wars 2

How well would GW2 run on the Alienware X51? It starts at $699.99, could you max the settings?

It runs like kitten on any pc no matter what the price is :p

Do yourself a favor and build it yourself. Save yourself a hundred bucks or more along the way.

But that’s the thing I’ve never built a PC, and honestly don’t really want to get into that on my free time. I know it’s cheaper, but you pay more for the less hassle.

When pre-buying a pc for gw2 I recommend making sure the cpu is at least an i5, and the gpu is a 970 (or 390) or better

I recommend you buy the parts and have a pc shop put it together for you

Get the $999.99 one.
i5-6400, R9 370, 8 GB 2133MHz DD4

You’ll run GW2 on max for sure and it will run other games on max for a good while.

PS: Sure you could save some money building yourself (not much actually), but as you said, you are paying for the comfort and the Dell’s assistance.
