Hmm, 550 Ti is a much weaker card for gaming. Check out the the EVGA 560:

Didn't catch if you require an Operating System but here is a build I'd recommend. Quad core i5. 7850 beats out the 650Ti handily.

FX-6100 is a decent processor. Probably a good match with the 6670. Both are not superb but decent. You'll want to tweak your graphics settings in-game as has been suggested in this thread......

I threw together a minimum budget build that I see as fully WvW playable. You would want to follow an overclocking guide to go beyond 4ghz. The motherboard, cpu and cooler are slightly nicer to...

You need a gaming video card (GPU) and a power supply that will support a gaming video card. Also, highly recommend Windows 7 64bit operating system and at least 4GB of memory.

I agree with the goldteeth teenager girl, an i5 is definitely the way to go to fully enjoy this game.

HD 6670 is around $60 last I checked. This is in the ballpark of your cpu.

That cpu/gpu is a step below Intel HD 2000. Being that HD 3000 is the bare minimum I would say that is a no-go. GL

Depends on how far with the graphics you want to go.

For wvw I'd recommend a 660M or better. The 675M looks about right for full enjoyment... and the 7970M is a...

Everything is great except for the video card. Radeon 7770 or GTX 650 Ti at least to enjoy the full game. But that should run the game fine with low settings.

I'll wager it will run well for general PvE and perhaps some sPvP. Busy PvE events and certainly WvW it will not be playable at times... meaning well under 10fps.

Edit: Referring to Medium/Low...

IMO if you want the best gaming experience go desktop. A laptop with roughly 185watts of juice is always going to be limited compared to a desktop with 600+watts. For example, a 7970M (mobile) is...

Ultra settings, 1080p with 60+fps during WvW sieges... I'd say a $2-3k one might get close. Max-out is a bit unspecific though. You may be content with a $1k laptop.

Understood, I'll keep that in mind. Well for another $50 he can get the next model corsair. So we'll avoid their CX budget line. Will open up more options for future gpu upgrades.

Excellent - 7870 is a great GPU!

4 stars and 220 reviews on newegg - it can't be that bad and the 7770 is not exactly a power hog.

I agree the 6950 is far and away the better GPU. Some folks don't want the hassle of individual...

Agreed, hopefully you have some coin to build a new desktop?? Unfortunately, the cpu and graphics are below minimum and the ram is at the bare absolute minimum. Laptops are extremely limited in...

I threw this together. i5 CPU/7770 GPU/4GB RAM for $720. You'll need an OS such as Windows 7 64bit for roughly $90. Total of $810.

But yeah, you'll always get about 20% better value for...

A router upgrade would not affect your game experience outside of frequent lost connections and subsequently getting logged out.

From your start menu, go to Run... and enter "dxdiag". Tell us...

This AMD is quad core and benches much better than what you got above.

IMO the 6670 is border line for major events/wvw. I'd go with this, 7770 GHz edition on sale for the moment:

Solid setup. 7870 is relatively efficient so 500w supply should be okay, but not much room when upgrading to hungrier cards such as the a 680 or 7970. A fast SSD 6GB/s would have been nice to avoid...

Fair enough. Well go with an i5 2500k with a $25 cpu cooler. You'll have the option to overclock it with ease, now or in the future.

I had some time to burn, here are a few suggestions I'd recommend. That pcpartpicker.com site is great, I think I found out about it from Zerk on these forums, so Thanks! (note prices will vary...

Here is the manual for your PSU - 2x6pin with extra 2pin so this will connect to any GPU:

Watch a couple PC building guides on youtube and see if you're comfortable with them. If you follow directions well and can use a screw driver then you should do fine.
