EDIT: Figured I'd re-do this since the other posts were more concise. Apologies!
My wife and I are avid Guild Wars 2 gamers (with other games on the side) and our current laptop is getting a bit rough around the edges (HP Pavilion dv6). We are considering buying a new computer, but our budget is kind of tight.
Approximate Purchase Date: Anytime between the time of this posting to February 29th
Budget Range: $300-$500 is the best possible range.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Guild Wars 2, YouTube, Minecraft, Skype/Teamspeak, general web browsing
Parts Not Required: (not sure what to answer this with)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I'm new to buying a computer (our current laptop was a gift years ago), so I suppose Amazon.
Country: United States
Parts Preferences: I'd prefer AMD as I have the most experience with it, but if something else handles Guild Wars 2 better I'm all ears. Laptop or desktop, doesn't matter, as long as it does what I want it to.
Overclocking: I've never done it, but it's nice to have the option if I need to use it. I'd prefer yes.
SLI or Crossfire: (I don't know what these are, my apologies!)
Monitor Resolution: Preferably anything around 1300x700 for laptops. 1500xX for monitors, though I can deal with a bit smaller/larger.
Additional Comments: I'd much prefer if the suggestions were on a desktop, but a laptop is fine as well. I do not want to build a computer, I'd rather buy a stock one, as I don't trust myself building anything at the moment. I'd be more than happy to order it if it's over a website, but I've only ever ordered things from Amazon. I also would prefer if Guild Wars 2 runs at least at 30-40FPS on medium settings. Lower is acceptable.
