Hey all I have a question about whether I should get a new processor or a new graphics card. I am using an AMD FX™-4130 quad-core processer and have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 610. Which should I replace and what should I replace it with? My price range is probably around $100.

I’ve never seen a CPU or a new GPU for $100 — unless it’s super old. Good luck. You might as well check Newegg or Amazon and see what you can find.

Doesn’t need to be new. I just want to run my game on medium settings at around 60fps. I don’t know what would work for my computer though. I don’t have much experience building computers.

I doubt a $100 CPU or GPU would be an upgrade, much less be able to run GW2 particularly well. I think ~$400 would be needed?

The CPU you can get for that amount doesn’t seem like it would be an upgrade but you could get GTX 750 for around $120 and there is a $20 rebate. This is assuming you are in the US.

u have enough good cpu.. but u rly need better graphic card..
i dont know which one.. but mine is older radeon 7870 which now cost about 100e and can run this game very well even in wvw

just go to any shop and get the best graphic for 100e

anyway, what about your RAM?
