I'm just tired of having any bottlenecks or being bogged down in my games, hence the new build. I want to be able to fully enjoy my games to the most without much it ANY sacrifice.

So spending way more than I had thought lol

You don't need to have a supercomputer in order to run games on full settings. Video card would be the one thing you go big on, everything else you can go after a reasonably priced part.

Which i am, but i meant to say spending more on the video card..which i chose to.

not necessarily, guild wars 2 is by far more processor-reliant.

So I should be okay with an i5-3570k i assume

that's what i'd say, too.

as far as gw2 goes, you'd get better performance with upgrading your processor to i7, then taking the price difference and downgrading your gpu

Don't think I honestly need an i7... I wont put it to its full potential. I wont be doing any editing/programming etc.

Plus the CPU is already bought by my parents for xmas. If they were willing to spend more id get i7-3770k just cause, but they wont.

plus i plan to do some minor OC to the CPU anywho, from 3.4 up to 4-4.2 at most to be stable enough.

So that+ the evga 780 FTW i plan to get be fine.

sounds like a catastrophic disaster waiting to happen

you better do some serious research on overclocking intel cpus before you touch anything
