Guild Wars 2

Building a new computer where GW2 is the main game I play, with the occasional FPS thrown into the mix. Anything I should consider adjusting? My budget is ~$1000 (before monitor). I already have mouse, keyboard, and a 2 TB HDD that will be swapped out of my current computer. Will be ordering within the next few days.

Thanks in advanced for any advice!

- PSU is a little big but it’s inexpensive. This is the newer model.

- EVO is OK but I would lean toward something better with a Haswell CPU, it doesn’t need to be over the top like the H100i.

- Assuming you are moving over your existing data drive because 120GB SSD will get used up quickly.

Thanks for the advice. You are correct, I will be moving a 2TB drive.

Shouldn’t be any sort of issue playing GW2 or most any game.

Glad to see you aren’t one of those that just HAVE to spend another couple hundred on an unnecessary i7 processor for a gaming rig.

Thanks again for the advice! I just love how much people on these forums are willing to help.
