Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone!

I have a crappy laptop right now which requires me to play GW2 on the lowest possible graphic settings and still lag like crazy. So naturally I am looking into buying a new computer.

Since I am not extremely computer savvy, I was hoping you all might aid me in what to include with my new system.

So far I am pretty sure that:
1) I should get a desktop instead of a laptop and might not even need a monitor
2) Only the graphics card and RAM need to be high end
3) I have somewhat of a budget
4) I need to be able to run GW2 smoothly, without lag, on high/highest graphic settings

Any insight is appreciated, please help!

You actually want a good match between CPu and GPU, having a $600 GPU doesnt do you any good if your running a dual core CPU. My suggestion:

CPU: Core I5
GPU: Nvidia 580 or ATI Radeon 7xxx series (I stick with Nvidia personally)
Ram: 8 GB DDR3 @1600

Rest is up to you, but those are the main components you will want to runthe game smoothly at high settings.

Thats my 2 cents
