Looking to buy this computer cheap off craigslist…don’t have the money to build my own. Can this run Guild Wars 2 decently? And if not what addition could I make to it and how much would that cost? Really appreciate any answers, I’m not very knowledgeable on computers.

Well, whats your definition of decently:) You’ll definitely run into some issue’s running it “decently” with that processor…

It will run, at low setting and poor frame rate, but it will run yeah, how much are u paying for it?

See Part 2.2 here to know what parts to look at.

You can play PVE content with that system, but large events/dungeon/WvW will not.

Price was $239

Well for 239 i think that PC would be the best option, but i would highlly recomend to save 500$ to get a brand new modern system capable to properlly run GW2. That is the minimum budget u are aiming at if u really wanna play this game enjoyable.

I can make you a $500 pc with an SSD that will be able to sport a much more powerful 7850 graphics card which will be able to play the game decently completely maxed out.

Or $400 without an SSD.

What exactly is an SSD? Sorry, I’m very unfamiliar with computers…Have been using this laptop to play World of Warcraft on low settings for a couple years now. If I could get a computer for 400-500 dollars that’d be great.
