Guild Wars 2

Hi can anyone tell me if these specs will play gw2? amd athlon quad core 3.0ghz x4 processor asus nvidia gtx 560ti 1gb graphics card 8gig ddr3 ram biostar a880g+ HD motherboard 650watt psu 1TB hd dvd rw windows 8 64bit

And if it can how well can i expect it to perform? Thanks

It should perform ok in PVE. During Large events like dragons or WvW your CPU will bottleneck you. If you can get a good aftermarket cooler for the CPU an overclock will help.

Thanks for the reply, what type of CPU can handle this game then? Is the graphics card and ram ok?

The GPU should be ok for med/high settings imo. The ram should be ok if it is at 1333mhz+
For CPU you would want an i5 3570k or i7 3770k from intel and a good aftermarket cooler to overclock it. AMD Phenom II 965 black edition apparently runs the game well overclocked and the newer FX 3850 CPUs.
The game is not optimized for more than 3 threads so it demands high clocks, thus the overclocking

Darn well im planning on buying that system for £250 do think i can find any better around that price range? Sorry about all the questions last one:)

mmm no for 250 it will be hard honestly, a side upgrade basically, if u want a real step up upgrade u need arround 350, for a good mobo capable of overclocking and CPU, overclocking on low end motherboards is a very bad idea, most likelly it will kill the CPU or the board itself. The 560ti will max out the game easy at decent frames, the memory will be just fine, u just need to save a little more for mobo+CPU.
It will also be a very good idea wait untill june to get the next gen CPUs, u will be just fine playing on your current athlon untill then, it is not a pentium 4.
