Building a $500-600 PC
medium settings with some set to low.
you are better off going Intel

The one thing I dislike the most about this is the video card. This GTX 650Ti is only $110 after rebate and will destroy the 550Ti you’ve linked to.

Minor quible, the PSU doesn’t have any true 8 pin (or 6+2) PCIe power connectors. In includes a 6 to 8 pin converter which isn’t quite the same thing.

750W PSU is overkill, and you probably need better CPU and GPU for 60fps.
Agreed. 750W is oversized. It’s just one of these cases where a nice quality 650 watt isn’t much cheaper.

As said in the title I want to build a low budget pc, but im wondering if these parts are even compatible and if they are what type of settings could i get at 60fps. Thank you and all suggestions are appreciated.

What resolution do you plan on playing at? If its 1080p like everyone else is assuming, follow what they say, but if its less then you’ll be looking at higher settings. Even so though, I wouldn’t recommend getting older hardware like that, spending 75 bucks more gets you a better processor and the motherboard will cost the same as the one you already have chosen.
Spend slightly more to get a GTX 650Ti like someone else said.
Save money on the power supply by shooting for something a little less than the moon. A 650W comes to mind.

i ran the same setup on a 1080 res, and ran all max settings except shaders low aa low.. and had 50fps everywhere except LA and WVW… and even those were good until a complete huge zerg dropped me to 20fps. please do not let anyone tell you to waste money on an intel system, No i am not an AMD fanboy. i am speaking from experience, i ran the same amd 965black stock not OC, with the same gtx 550ti and had zero problems running the game at beautiful settings. i have recently upgraded to an fx 6300 and an hd 7850 card, and have not noticed much of a difference.
For $600 it seems that you are better off going AMD for gaming in general (not just Guild Wars 2). Granted there are complaints about AMD’s performance in Guild Wars 2 — but when you are on a budget its hard not to consider AMD, and you can still get decent results for your money. I did consider trying to build an Intel equivalent but as soon as I added any of the well known “K” versions there was a sizeable chunk of the budget gone, which meant no real over clocking potential from intel platforms would be gained. However with AMD you can get something like the 6800K for far less and more importantly with in your budget. Combined with a decent cpu cooler (such as the Hyper 212 EVO) you can overclock and narrow that gap between Intel and AMD even further all whilst staying with in that budget.
Here is what I came up with: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1bZ8u
CPU: AMD 6800K Quad Core 4.1GHz
FAN: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
RAM: 2x 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance
GFX: AMD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB Sata 6.0Gbps
(could save money by re using your current one if compatible)
PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX600 — 600 watts
CASE: Gigabyte GZ-F5HEB ATX Mid Tower Case
(could save money by re using your current one if compatible)
DVD: LG GH24NS95 DVD/CD Writer
(could save money by re using your current one if compatible)
Price after all combo’s and mail in rebates: $598.89

Honestly, if you are going with an A10-6800K and a video card then you would be better off getting a 4.2GHz FX-4350 with an Asus M5A97 R2. The FX-4350 has 8MB of L3 cache that the A10 doesn’t have.
