it’s no us or eu so prices are at least 50$ higher, and i don’t play any sp, just gw

i5 3470 and hd 6670 (or gt) could run it, at least decently on medium/low settings? including WvW?

well i could go with gt 630 or hd 6670, anything decent with ddr5 is another 150$ which is too high for me for just one game (only play gw2 and not planning anything else in near future).

i could run it with old hd 3650 (really, didn’t upgrade in a long time ), did work well on low graphics with that athlon x2 for pve and spvp, but not sure if that’s a good idea with the i5.

so no hope with a10 for wvw?

Hello all
I want to upgrade my system a bit, it’s been a few years since i did that so now is good time as any.. i could play pve good enough, but i’m missing WvW due to the fps problem. I’m using athlon x2 2,6 so u get the picture

I was just wondering if any of this setups would run Wvw on at least 15-20 fps on low settings (don’t care about fancy graphics much)…gonna get cpu, mobo and ram with some old gear and need some help before i buy and make mistake..other use would be office word and internet browsing

1. amd a10 5800k, asrock a75 and 2×4Gb DDR3 2133 MHz – would use onboard graphics
2. intel i5 3470, asrock h61 and 2×2Gb ddr3 1600Mhz (don’t ask about GPU in that case
could build something with fx 6xxx series but that got even less score on single thread benchmark then a10…other i5’s and i7’s or fx 8xxx series are just too expensive here…even that i5 is arround 220$
i know that i5 is stronger cpu than a10 but i’m leaning towards it cause of the iGPU which is more than enough for my gaming needs, just not sure will it run WvW

thx for reading,any help or other ideas would be appreciated
