Sorry, I’m pretty bad with computers, just wondering if anyone could give a general impression of how well that PC could play GW2

The CPU well be hurting it moderately badly, but it should do decently. If you build your own, you can probably get a decent i5 at that sort of budget, though. Not too sure of component prices in £.

I’m actually impressed, though. That has a decent GPU where most prebuilt ‘gaming’ computers will have something completely awful.

Switch the processor to an intel i5 and it’ll play this game far better than that FX-8320 will. Take my word on that. I have an FX-8350. I’m soon to be switching to an i7 4770K.

Ok thanks for the info

Same as above. Go for an i5 or i7 build. And try to avoid those prebuilt rigs. if ur goign to go prebuilt/thridparty built then do it via a place that allows u to choose the components inside, like those sites that allow options, dont buy prebuilt rigs from a regular retailer.

Oh and fair wraning, iv had REALLY bad experiance with Ebuyers RMA process in the past, took over a month and a letter to their chief executive with warnings of going to trading standards to get it sorted out. It may not be the norm, but just putting it out their. They did appologies in the end and say it wa an issue with a specific employee but u never know.
Since ur looking at ebuyer i can sugest some other places to buy computers and or parts in the UK.

OverClockers.co.uk
Novatech.co.uk
Scan.co.uk
Dabs.com
Aria.co.uk

Aria does some really nice prebuilt and OC’ed rigs around the £1000 mark.
overclcokers tend to be a tad expensive once u take delivery into account but they also do good prebuilt rigs.

I run with the same processor fine, you won’t notice a difference between the intel and amd chip sets. You should be able to run everything med/high where things aren’t overly crowded.
I don’t do pre-built, but for the price, it’s okay. I’d say go for it if it’s in your budget.

You WILL notice the difference between Intel and AMD CPU’s in this game, there is no doubt.

I would stay away from Cyberpower unless you can upgrade the motherboard , memory, and power supply they use the cheapest kitten they can have made for them on that.

Like that motherboard GB 780 chipset, Cooler Master low quality PSU

About the same price if you can build it with quality parts small hit on the video card 7850. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/256Cf

Cooler Master low quality PSU

Cooler Master’s PSUs are made by SeaSonic, which generally makes high grade PSU.
SeaSonic is also the first company to produce 80 Plus Gold PSU.
And all of their PSUs are rated at least 80 Plus.

Hey, thanks for all the information guys, really helpful

That’s all good but the PSU model that is often stuck in prebuilt rigs that are offered on sites other than CyberPowerPC or iBuyPower are older less robust models that they are simply trying to clear out of inventory. Problem is picture is to small to read the model number off of.
