Guild Wars 2

Decided to upgrade my computer and here are the parts I’m thinking of buying.

Thoughts,opinions,concerns? Post below please!

GPU:
ASUS GTX 660

CPU:
AMD FX 8 Core 3.5 Ghz

Motherboard:
ASUS M5A78L

Power supply:
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 Watt Bronze Cert

Thanks Guys!

generally for any mmo you need powerfull CPU which AMD isnt (sadly…)
get an intel CPU and AMD GFX

Without any budget i cant really help sugest cost effective alternatives.

However going simply on what u have listed i would say spend an extra $40 on the GPU and get the just released GTX 760.

CPU wise, that CPU is one of AMD’s best but if u want the best out of GW2, specialy in WvW, then u will want a Intel. Maybe a i5 4670k.

But like i said, i cant make a more informed sugestion unlessi know ur price limits.

I recommend a system around the Intel® Xeon® Prozessor E3-1225V2 or E31235V2, as long as you don’t want to overclock.

With this you get a I7-CPU for the price of an I5, which is quite a bargain. As for the GFX, I would choose an AMD/ATI 7870, which works well for me in this setup (running a dual monitor setup, gw2 in one window 1920×1080)

About $600 USD

I think that build would do fine. I would just recommend a 660ti instead of the normal 660.

Get a GTX 760, not a GTX 660Ti. The GTX 660Ti has been phased out as of yesterday.
