I am building my first PC. It's primary use will be gaming followed by general surfing. My main played game is Guild Wars 2. That is why I chose a more powerful CPU. I will upgrade my GPU in a year or so, but I am going to college before too long so I am can't really splurge now. I wanted the CPU though for Guild Wars 2. Will this build allow me to play most games on high setting? I plan to use the optical drive from my last PC. Here it is: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/dj00015/saved/2wcY Thank you for the help.

YEs it will play high settings. Some things should be changed.
-PSU is junk. Change to XFX, Corsair, Antec, Seasonic
-only need 500w.
-Case is junk. Look at antec, Corsair, Fractal design, NZXT, Coolermaster
-Cannot overclock on that motherboard. Change to a z87 board or get a non-k CPU.

Hi
from my experience :
MMORPG = alot loading of files that are not on the server
The build i s good but you gonna bottleneck on the HDD
advice :
Add second hdd - f.e. 500 , 1000 GB HDD
or
Add 120 -256 GB SSD as OS and keep 2-d 500 - 1000GB HDD for data and GAMES
MMORPG wit one HDD will go crazy LAG on "butterfly read& write " ...... if you have SSD you Guild Wars will load 10x times faster and this build is more than fine to hit the Server bottleneck.
I have updated my build and added a 120GB SDD. Will that be enough for Windows 8 and Guild Wars 2? Here is the updated link: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/dj00015/saved/2wcY Is this better? And will the HD 7870 bottleneck the 4670k very bad? Or is it a good budget card?

Get a hyper 212 EVO, not plus.
The 7870 should max guild wars 2. Not all other games though. It will play them at high.
Change PSU to XFX550. WAY better quality. The CX line form corsair isn't too great.

Ok, I followed your suggestion. I have one last question. I have a new 32" 1080p HDTV which I got as a graduation gift. Would I notice performance or lag issues if i played the PC through it? I don't have the money to buy a new monitor. I am on a tight budget. I have heard of input lag, but will it really be that noticeable? I'm not a professional gamer or anything.

No, it should be fine. you shouldn't have any input lag as long as it isn't a cheap Chinese TV.
