Guild Wars 2

Well I ordered the following:

XFX AMD Radeon HD 7870 DD Black Edition
XFX 550W Core Edition ATX-PSU, 80+ Bronze

Hope it all goes well!

Hmm sounds good, although I should get a new PSU also then? Would I need anything else? Would my cpu/motherboard/ram/? “bottleneck” that R9 270X?

Thanks in advance

Edit: That radeon card seems to be so new it’s not available in Finland yet :/ GTX abit expensive…

Well I’d just like to run the game at highest settings eventually… Maybe try some GTA V someday :P Atm I’m running GW2 at low-medium settings and in wvw still goes to ~10 fps :/

Hello!

I’m looking for some advice on how to gain more performance on my prebuilt HP pc.

I don’t have a huge budget, so I’m starting to upgrade this a bit by bit. Where should I start? I really have no experience/knowledge about building computers. I also have never overclocked anything. I only use this for GW2 and watching some movies..

Thanks in advance!
