Guild Wars 2

Hello. I have saved enough Ascended Shards of Glory to buy a new ascended set but I still can’t decide for which class and I’d like to ask if the merchant will be there after the pvp season is over.

1) I’d choose 960 over 280 becuase the difference is minimal but price difference in my country is bigger. Plus “team green” has some features like shadow play and game stream. Btw. OCed 950 is somewhat equal to 960 so that would be best now.
2) i5 6500 is the highest I’d like to go and even that is high. Don’t be like “i7 or nothing” or “buy 1070 or 1080 for futureproof”. The prices are horrible and I don’t want any GPU now. I’ll buy the 970 if it drops or RX later. Currently I am leaning towards the i3 because the difference in games is minimal and I don’t want to spend $80+ just to get some boost in GW2.

revox.8273:

first of all, i5 6400 demolishes the i3 6100 in gw2, the real price/performance king right now its the i5 6500 (costs a 10 $ more) wich i highly recomend for gw2
the diference between i5 4460 and 6500 is around 5%
as for GPU, if u dont play other games i will pick the gtx 950, but if u also play newer titles like doom for example, you should go with gtx 960. both these cards consume around 120W and you dont need a big psu. you can wait for polaris to launch at the end of this month and take a look at price/performance ratio
and of course go with at least 8 gb of ram

Do you have personal experience? How big is the difference between the Skylake i3 and i5 and both these Skylake i5s?

Hello. I want to build a new PC and I can’t decide which processor to choose. I’ve read that i5 6400 is great budget CPU but gets over-performed by i3 6100 in single-thread. Does GW2 uses more cores? Other choices are older i5 4460 or faster i5 6500. I’d like to pair it with either GTX950 OC or GTX 960 (maybe wait for new generation of GPU). How big will be the difference between i3 and i5 and is it worth the money?
