hey there I just upgrade my PC and have 2 minor doubts if you can help i would apreciate.

So my old build was :

cpu anthlon x4 640 3ghz
4 gb ddr2 667
gtx+ 9800 1024ddr2

game was playabl, I could do anything in gw usualy in dungens,www and tqual had like 15-40 fps with evetything at min.

I recived the parts today and my new build is this :

i5 3470 3.2ghz, ingame Turbo is on at 3.6ghz
kingston 8gb 1600, i check serveral times in bios and cpuz and it runs at 1600
have the same gtx+ 9800 1024ddr2

right now i experience a hole new game, with all at minimum I hav like 115 fps and with everythig at medium to high 60-80 fps, did not tryed tqual or any zergs yet.I could even skip buying new grafic card since it works that well, but I want to complete the build.

So my 2 questions are :

is the asus 760gtx+ will do fine with this build? i wont go AMD, tired of amd and realy never again.
is ok for the i5 3470 to go 67º ingame? i did used my old artic freezer 7.2 pro since works for 1155 cpus aswell with artic mx2 thermal past

anyway thanx for reading

67celsius is fine for that older cooler. If it goes above 80celsius you might want to look at a better cooler. A GTX 760 is a great little gpu, but it won’t do much for you in THIS game, a better cpu will.

3770k 4.9ghz | Koolance 380i | NexXxoS XT45 | XSPC D5 Photon | ASUS MVFormula |
Mushkin Black 16gb 1600 | 500GB Samsung 840 Evo |2×2TB CavBlack| GALAX 980 SoC |
NZXT Switch 810 | Corsair HX850 | WooAudio WA7 Fireflies | Beyerdynamic T90

AMD graphics are completely different from AMD CPU.
Technically speaking, AMD graphics is ATI Technologies.

I’d actually recommend R9 270 or 270X or R7 265.
GTX 760 is good too.

Answer to question 1:

GTX 760 will do nicely for that build, I got one last month and and goes well with my i5 2400 CPU. Your FPS will improve but not by much since GW2 is cpu bound.

Answer to question 2:

67 is fine but I’d watch it during the summer. I run a Coolermaster Hyper 212 and temperature floats around 47-49 degrees with GW2.
