I’m not sure where I should be posting this, but I’m going to be buying a new computer in a few weeks when I have the money, and I was wondering if this computer would suffice for Guild Wars 2, and how well would it run.

PRODUCT FEATURES

VISION Technology by AMD
Makes your digital photos and Web sites look amazing and gives a boost to digital music playback.

AMD Six-Core FX-6120 Accelerated Processor with Radeon HD 7450 dedicated graphics
For powerful performance.

10GB PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM
For multitasking power, expandable to 32GB.

Multiformat DVD±RW/CD-RW drive with double-layer support
Records up to 8.5GB of data or 4 hours of video using compatible DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL media; also supports DVD-RAM.

6MB L2 cache memory
For efficient system processing.

Offers spacious storage and fast read/write times.

AMD Radeon HD 7450 graphics

I’m not sure if that’s enough information, but I posted what I think would affect performance, I’m not very good with computers… If anyone could let me know how well this computer would do, that’d be great. Thanks in advance.

I’ll have around $700 on the 28th, which was when I was planning on buying it.

Give me some time.
I’ll give you a list of parts.

Building your own pc is just like lego with cablemanagement.

Took a bit longer than expected.
Newegg changed their combo’s so had to find new ones.

There is a $15 off promocode on the cpu so the total is just under $700.

Hey, Xceptional, why dont buy a prebuild one? Even from those prebuild specialists?

If I’m in UK, where should I be looking?

Prebuilts lure customers in with a decent cpu and loads of ram while ram is the least (4GB for budget and 8GB for mid and high end is fine) important for gaming.

They then praise it as the ultimate gaming pc while they added a 35 buck graphics card resulting into barely running anything above low and are generally just overpriced.

Prebuilts also use very crappy quality parts in general.

Building your own pc should take about an hour to 2 hours depending on your experience and the complexity of the system (as in an office pc being a simpler system than a gaming pc)

My personal fav store in the UK is ebuyer.com

If you list your budget, I can help you out.

Note that I only help the lower budget people.
There is more of a challenge in that.

That’s pretty horrible for the price.
The pc from the parts I listed is significantly better in every way and $100 less.

Do realize that every single part has warranty and each of those companies have free helpdesks.

No PSU on there, unless that case has one.

There is.
Look at the Corsair builder CX600 V2

It’s a complete system.

Also, psu’s that come with cases are always poor quality.

AMD Phenom II X4 965
8 GB RAM – Bought it myself forgot the manufacturer…
ASUS M4A78LT-M LE AM3, 2xDIMM, DDR3, PCIe-16, 2xPCI, 1xPCIe-1
Single Hard Drive (500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache HDD)

It’s not realistic buying those parts these days.

List a budget and I will make a build for you.
600 pounds will easily get you a far superior system that will run any game on high (most on max) at 1920×1080.

As mentioned before, it’s just lego with cablemanagement.
Bring the parts to a local computershop and let them assemble it if you don’t have the time or fear of messing it up wich is honestly fairly hard.

You will still have a far superior and higher quality system for the same price.

Just read the manuals.
Hell, I’ve seen a completely tech illiterate girl that only used laptops build a gaming pc in 1.5 hours live on cam a while back.

Can I message you somewhere else to ask about this?

BTW, this game runs on pretty much anything, you just need good heat management as video card and cpu will be pushed to its limits on lower end pcs.

Build 1:
Slightly more cpu power, a faster and bigger HDD and a nicer case but a weaker gpu.
http://i50.tinypic.com/2myrvyo.jpg

Build 2:
Slightly less cpu power, less storage and a less good case but a more powerful gpu
http://i49.tinypic.com/1pib86.jpg

Personally I’d go for the first build.
This is because the HD7850 can OC to the point where it can match a 7870, the case looks nice and has better features on the inside and guild wars 2 will benefit from the extra cpu horsepower. Any bit extra in WvW is nice.

Store is ebuyer.com.
Free shipping if set on 5 workdays.

No problem Phsky.

If anyone else needs help in the budget ranges, make a post in this thread.

I won’t be here much longer considering my account got terminated so today will probably be my last day on this forum.
