Guild Wars 2

Hello, I recently had to move, and left my old desktop behind (I was going to replace it soon anyway). I still have my laptop, but it’s not powerful enough to run WvW, or most of GW2 for that matter.

I’ve been saving up a little of my pay checks each week, and am looking at buying this build:

I’m looking for some feedback, if anyone thinks anything needs a little upgrade, or if I can afford to cut back a little in some places. I building this to run GW2 at, or near, 60fps most of the time and, hopefully, never dropping below 30 (in larger groups).
If you do have any suggestions for changes please discuss the pro’s and cons of doing so.

Here is a helpful link that might let give people a little more information:

Do I really need a 600 watt psu?

5 extra bucks you spend now will save you having to rebuy a power supply if you ever get a better video card or add extra drives.

I can see your build getting close to 30 FPS in the larger group areas. You’ll need to overclock your processor to achieve this, so hopefully you know that ahead of time. Perhaps you can purchase a better CPU cooler to get a better overclock, something like a Noctua NH-D14 if you’re wanting top of the line air cooling, or you can grab a Corsair H60 for an AiO water cooling solution if you’re into that.
