If you played GW2 like a game and not an “MMO” you would have realized there’s a ton of kitten to do and experience…

I honestly can’t name another game I spent $48 on that has given me this much content, period.

What are you running GW2 on?

1055T @ 3.5Ghz
ASRock 880G Extreme 3
Galaxy 2GB 660Ti @ 1228/7000
G.Skill Aries 8GB 1866 @ 1666 CL9
Seasonic Platinum 860W
60GB OCZ Vertex 3
500GB Western Digital Green HD

I RMA the Galaxy though and have a 3GB Superclocked with backplate from EVGA coming in, the fans on my Galaxy rattle and its taking forever for their rep to get back to me, so I just RMA’ed it with Amazon.

That’s another $100. This is a budget build. What he is getting is perfect to build upon.

No hes not, socket AM3+ is dead, its been dead, the 8350 is the only hope for it, and even it is pretty bad.

Hes better off spending the extra $80 and getting the i5 3570, which is on sale for $199.99, rather than throwing away another $200 for something comparable to the i52500k once the 8350 drops.

There’s so much misinformation in here its pretty funny, an i5 2500k is capable of running 7970 crossfired, a 965BE will bottleneck a single 7970 via benchmarking.

Even though XFX PSU’s are rebadged Seasonic’s you still have to deal with XFX’s sub par service, which is only getting worse.

Also don’t buy a 6870, you can get a 7850 for the same money out the door.

I also would hold out till next week, nVidia is releasing the GTX 660 non Ti and should cause for another price drop on cards.
