I play PlanetSide 2 on my laptop. Currently I have a i3 2330M @ 2.2 GHz. At minimum settings I get between 10 and 25 FPS. This almost always dips when I get into largish battles. I've been told that Ps2 is very CPU dependent. I'd like to know how much CPU horsepower I need. If necessary, I can overclock, but would prefer not to. In summary, please tell me which CPU I need, and if you're in a good mood, give me a build with a $700 budget. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

700?
You're looking at an amd build.
maybe a cheap intel build off craigslist or feebay if you are lucky.
best bet to just play the game at decent settings?
go to walmart or best buy. buy the i5 desktop or the 6 core amd desktop, then get on newegg and buy the 750 ti evga superclocked gpu.
enjoy your planet side 2 gaming adventures.

Its not really that bad of advise for someone who wants to run one game on decent settings, it is the easiest option to take. and the 750 ti is made for this.
it is a perfect answer.

says the guy that built an fx 8350 and 750 ti rig to play wow on lol.

it just comes down to how you want to handle it.
build a new rig? or just slap a nice gpu in an average off the shelf desktop.
either option is acceptable and will get the job done.

that gt 610 will run world of warcraft on 50-75 fps on high settings alone.
not sure about ps2 I never ran that with a gt 610.

seriously, check craigslist for your area or even walmart. a non "k" i5 cpu will do fine with a decent gpu.
