So my girlfriend's PC chugs with Guild Wars 2, so I am going to upgrade my system and give her my old parts. Below are our current specs and what I'm thinking for an upgrade.
I am looking to make it a budget first step upgrade. Would she be alright with just a CPU or GPU? If GPU would help more, would her Earthwatts 380w be enough for the GTX 560? It looked like enough power using one of the online PSU calculators.
My current:
-i3 2100
-GTX 560
-8GB memory
-Earthwatts 500W
Her current:
-Pentium dual core E5200
-4850
-8GB memory
-Earthwatts 380w
Minor upgrade for my system:
-7850 - $150
and/or
-i5-3450 - $180
or
-AMD FX-8320 - $151
