Guild Wars 2

What is the best gaming PC you can buy for Guild Wars 2? Please include a link to their website.

I do not want to build my own PC nor do I have the time to study each component and how to install it. I want to order 1 unit…plug it in and go.

I think you mean best value, as a “best” PC will cost you $1000’s. Building your own is always the best way to go to get bang for your buck. If you have no idea how to build and don’t want to learn, www.ecollegepc.com is one of the better sites.

As Blue says, building is way better value for money.

As for where from, that kinda depends what country you need it delivered to and what currency you want to pay in, none of which you have mentioned.

You don’t have to actually assemble your own PC to “build your own”. Sites like iBuyPower and similar let you choose every single component, which they will then assemble and ship to you as a complete unit. This takes a lot of the guess work out, preventing you from picking incompatible components, making sure you have the proper power supply, etc. etc.

If you want the best of the best, its going to run you $5k+. If you want something that’s going to be able to blow GW2 out the water and still be reasonable, its going to run you closer to $1k.

Whatever you choose, all I suggest is multicore (i5 or i7) and NVIDIA. AMD is flat out just not as good.

Falcon NW is by far the “Best”…..but if you thought buying a mac was expensive…

My quote button isn’t showing and I can’t be bothered to make a dummy post to fix it and then delete it so…

@Apakal – absolutely correct. many decent websites offer pre-assembled bundles, barebones systems (just add stuff like hard drives), pre-assembled, pre-overclocked & stability tested systems or even build your own custom PC.

In the UK I tend to use one of 3 websites (although I build myself I know some of these do some pre-assembled bundles of various kinds):

www.scan.co.uk
www.ebuyer.com
www.overclockers.co.uk

I hear that www.newegg.com is a decent site which builds PC’s for you if you are in the US, but I’ve never really looked as I’m in the UK. So I’ll leave the US recommendations to someone else.

Would be useful to know the OP’s country of residence though.

Yeah, Falcon NW is expensive. But they look fantastic!

Go out to MMO-Champion and look at Chaud’s builds…there is an article today giving you 4 types of builds (cheap, low, medium, high) at different price ranges. You are looking around $900-$1200 for a good GW2 machine. I just built my own and it ran about $1050 without the monitor (i ended up getting lucky with a bunch of newegg stuff that went on sale at the right time with promo codes..ended up saving over $100…).

you don’t want to build one yourself?
you can always get help from a trusted computer-store…

however, here’s a site with affordable, yet high perfomance PC’s:
CLICK —->Alienware – Homepage <—-CLICK
maybe you’ll find there what you are looking for ;D

Yes, just buy the high-end Alienware and you won’t need another gaming computer for 5 years (maybe a video card upgrade).

Alienware (if you want to go dell)
IBuyPower (if you want a build your own feel with out doing it)

Best way to go is build your own. My monster is home built.
