Q:
Will this pc work for Gw2 ?
A:
A core i7 is definitely a great cpu for gaming, but you’ll probably want a new monitor. The 15.6 inch monitor sounds like something someone pulled out of their storage, as you can’t find a monitor smaller then 19 inches (21 usually) these days on the market for purchase from a retailer. You’ll also want more of the “DDR3 SDRAM” as the game uses about 1.5 gigs, windows likes half a gig, and that leaves you with zero.
I would recocmend at a minimum if you wanted it for Guild Wars, to go with 4gb of Ram (Your motherboard dictates whether you have 2 slots or 4 slots) If you have 2 slots, I would go with two, 2 gig sticks of memory (ram), or if you have 4 slots, it’s your call on whether you want to go to 8 if your going to be gaming. (Must have a 64 bit version of Windows to run anything greater then 4).
Best of luck.

Not max but the ASUS K55VM will run GW2 decently at the 1366×768 resolution, probably within the medium settings range. The weakest component is the GPU, which is only slightly better than the new integrated GPUs.
To run GW2 on high or max settings on a laptop, you’re going to have to spend at least $800 for a laptop with an Nvidia GT 650m.

this pc costs 1045,21 dollar :p Thanks for your answer.
Check out Lenovo’s website and look for the IdeaPad Y580. There’s a version with the 650m GPU and it’s a little over $800.

It’ll run GW2, it sounds like. It’s strange that you wrote both 2GB and 8GB of ram in there.
Anyway, I run GW2 on a Lenovo Ideapad Y580 (about the same specs as what you linked, I believe). I also have an external 22inch monitor. I play it on lowest settings without any problem in 1080p. I also play TV shows, movies, whatever on my second monitor at the same time.
I receive no slow down no matter what I do, and I do a lot of WvWvW.
The laptop cost me 1k with a 3 year warranty.
I could and have played it on max settings as well. I prefer to play on lowest is all (I have tons of background applications open at all times)
