Guild Wars 2

So hey everyone I’m in a bit of a predicament

I’ve been playing Guild Wars 2 now for over 1 year and my computer has handled it fine until lately. It’s really annoying now to the point that when I go into WvW the usual bits and pieces on the map don’t load instantly, for example an Asura Gate

So I need a new computer but I’m only good at using the machine and I know hardly anything about how to choose what components I’m wanting. I’m not looking for a high priced system that runs Guild Wars 2 at max setting. What I’m looking for is a computer that runs GW2 smoothly on regular settings and that doesn’t have me going crazy because my fps drops far too low when my Engineer places more than one bomb

My budget is ideally in the £400-450 range but I guess I’ll see what you guys come up with

Thanks in advance

What are your current specs’? With a budget like that, it might be more worthwhile to upgrade than to buy new. You plan on building the new PC?

Yeah exactly. You could probably just upgrade some of your parts instead of building a new computer. Especially since your budget is very small.

You might want to try defragmenting your hard drive before you go out and get a new PC. My GW2 load times usually get longer after a major update. Doing a defrag of my hard drive helps. I use defraggler from piriform.

I’ve also been look for a new PC, and/or upgrading my laptop for GW2. During my research I’ve come across a couple of sites that have been very helpful in what to look for, and can help in my financial planning for such a machine.
