Hello, I'm here wondering if this PC : THE PC.JPG will run Guild Wars 2 on medium-high on 50-60 fps.
This is the PC I was looking at : http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/view/Fusion-450-gaming-pc/

The minimum system requirements for GW2 are as follows.
Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or better
Intel® Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, Core i3 OR AMD Athlon 64 X2, or better
2 GB RAM
NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800, ATI X1800, Intel HD 3000, or better (256 MB of video RAM and shader model 3.0 or better)
25 GB available HDD space
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's no recommended system requirements unfortunately, sorry!
I'm looking for a PC that ranges from the price of £400-500.
So, my question is, can you recommend a PC for me, or is this one 'okay'?
Thanks a bunch!
