Where should I upgrade my pc?
Your CPU is bottlenecked. LA is a fps dip for everyone. Turn down cpu hogging effects like Shadows and reflections will help a bit. You can try overclocking the g620, not sure how well it can with your motherboard. My Q6600 OC to 3.2 gets 20-30fps in LA.
If you want to upgrade then get a core i5/i7 2500 CPU or higher, your motherboard should support it. Look at this cpu chart

$200-$300 is more than enough to upgrade thatCPu to a i5 or even an i7.
I would recommend getting a i5 ether a 2550k or 3570k (your current motherboard IS compatable) then also buy a high performance air cooler like the Noctua NH-D14 and OC the cpu to around 4.5ghz possibly higher if u get the 2550k.
Any spare cash left over u can save for when u have more money spare for a new Graphics card. The 7770 is perfectly fine for GW2 but i will bottleneck on high settings.
With that cpu, so long as u keep the Graaphics setting low enough to stop the GPU form bottlenecking, you can play WvW and not drop below 30 fps.
On the topic of OC’ing, if u find your mothboard does not have the capability to OC very well. (which tbh i dont know much about ASrock motherboards) then that spare money u have left over should be enough to buy a good Asus or Gigabyte motherboard.

You can get an i5 3570k at new egg for 219.00 and its a solid chip.
