Guild Wars 2

Rolo.9248:

Your CPU can’t feed your GPU fast enough; your GPU isn’t being fully utilised.

Yes, I’ve heard that before, and it’s one of the reasons I’m going for an upgrade in the first place.

Well, now I will know what to look for; and thanks again to everyone for the info!

“Mid end:
i3 2120, ASRock B75M-GL and 8gb ddr3 1333 ram.”

It sounds like you understood me perfectly about the cheap<—>effective balance I’m aiming for. I COULD get the better CPU (either the one you or the one Casshern suggested) , but I will have to take a look at my paycheck first, plus I don’t want to throw too much cash at the PC at this point. And is there any significant difference between ASUS and ASRock?

Thanks for your help! I’ll think about going for a better CPU and MB, and I think I can upgrade the RAM cheaply, the bad thing is it looks like I’ll have to be boosting my power too so it will be pretty much a new PC for me and that doesn’t sound cheap at all in my head since I’m from Bulgaria to start with… But the upgrade’s time will come. Cheers guys and have a nice day/evening!

Hello there fellow GW2 fans, I recently purchased the game and find it awesome in every possible way!
One thing I would like to improve, however(as the topic title suggests) is my hardware in order to get the most out of the game’s spectacular graphics and effects. I am going to list my current PC specs and I would appreciate any and all advice on what to improve at the smallest cost (no overkill please, as I am kind of short on funds at the moment).
So here are my specs:

MB: Asus P5K Pro
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E4600, 2400 MHz
RAM: 4 GB DDR2-800 (2x 2GB)
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1024MB GDDR5 (Palit version)
-Running on Windows 7 Ultimate x64
