How well would this computer run GW2?
What are the system requirements?
Windows® Minimum System Requirements
Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or better
Intel® Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, Core i3 OR AMD Athlon 64 X2, or better
2 GB RAM
NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800, ATI X1800, Intel HD 3000, or better (256 MB of video RAM and shader model 3.0 or better)
25 GB available HDD space
Broadband Internet connection
Keyboard and mouse
Your GPU doesn’t need to be the best; you just won’t be able to run with great graphics settings. A middling/minimum requirements one is fine.
Where this game really hits your hardware is in the processor. I have a AMD 4 core and gw2 uses 80-90% of all four cores.

From my own experience, I’d say that’s enough to get decent FPS out. i7 runs GW2 the best out of all the other processors since GW2 uses CPU a lot. The graphics should be fine too. Nvidia GT 660M is mid-high end. I think that’s enough to run on mid-high or even high graphics.
Well thats reassuring seems like it’ll work well enough then.
You’ll be happily running the game in medium. If you drop the resolution you could probably pop in some eye candy, post processing etc. But that will definitely get you through the day.
