Well to stay above 30 FPS in big zergs you are looking at something like this and overclocking the processor to about 4.5GHz or so. This is from here http://www.komplett.ie/site/default.aspx
...

Not something I would try to run this game on and it be playable. First to overclock that CPU you got to raise the FSB wich means you are perrty much overclocking everything. Big doughts on getting...

I already have it!
i5 2500k @ 4.4GHz I can run it 100% stable @ 5.0 but no need to.

I think you made good choices except the surge protector is not something I would buy or use to low quality.
The faster of the processors is a good choice and the 7770 video card will run what you...

$400 or so you could spend a little more on the mother board but no real reason to as Intel is changing the socket with their new CPU's http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CcoQ

Wait I believe a big mistake was made!!!

^^^^^^^ This is right one core. http://ark.intel.com/products/27500/Intel-Pentium-4-Processor-supporting-HT-Technology-3_20-GHz-1M-Cache-800-MHz-FSB

Just to get some more info I have a few questions.
1 Overclocking yes or no. (making the processor work at a higher MHz)
2 Plans to get a new monitor with a higher rez in the near future?
3 The...

Again just bad advice lets see you have a i5 3570k and a 7870 video card the FX 6100 and 7850 card will use about the same watts I guess you have a 430 Watt PSU in your PC.

Better PSU $39 or 29 if you get the rebate.

The GTX560 takes 2 power connectors the PSU you picked only has one.
This if from the...

In theory only a high-end gaming system should need more than 300W (e.g the component power usage in my i7/GTX 660 PC only total to about 280W), but it depends on how much power is available on the...

If you have a switch on the back of the power supply make sure its set to the right volts. Make sure their no wires or motherboard shorted to the case, check power switch ( this can be unpluged and...

This would be a cheap upgrade but might need ta BIOS flash on the MB. My wife got 20/45 FPS with it in regular game play never tried large events or WVW....

Depending on the case you might not be able to reuse it.

I did read the post nowhere did it state this (the game may DROP TO 8 FPS and before dropping that low it was running at a higher framerate.) Also you stated it was OC to 3.6 as his has no chance....

Guild Wars 2 does not use Hyperthreading so it has 2 cores and thats all it has. 15/25 FPS will turn into a slide show in WVW and large events.

8 FPS is playable?

First the i5 480m has 2 cores not 4 and has a turbo speed of (off the top on my head) just under 3.0
Yes you can play the game and yes you will see drops in crowded areas. I would think that in...

Never compare other games it's like apples and oranges. Now to answer your question it's the processor holding you back. If you can overclock it to about 3.6 it would help you need a good aftermarket...

Save your money you have a single core processor.

I would get nothing below this and would not even consider a AMD processor for this game in WVW ( at one time I would till all the performance issues they have), add your choice of operating systems...

Yes for gaming you can not beat the i5 3570K /2500K Large WVW zergs will even bring them down to 30/45 FPS
The game is very CPU bound so for low/mid settings a $150 video card is fine as long as you...

You need to rethink that some (9100) is no where near the HD 3000 MIN SPEKS to run the game and I recomended buying a $50 video card before wasting the money on the game.

You need to rethink that some (9100) is no where near the HD 3000 MIN.

No the built in 9100 will not run the game but you can try.
