Quick question guys. Ive decided to save my money up until around black friday or so before I finish my beast of a build. I decided my current computer ran fine and was updated enough for now, but I want a new processor.
I'm current using a Pentium D Dual core @ 3ghz.
I was looking, and saw I could get a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 for around 80$
do you guys think this paired with a 550ti will run GW2 smoothly? I can run it at max with the pentium at around 11fps, and medium runs fine. I know its the processor bottlenecking.
I want to get a good processor for my 775 socket, and save the rest of my money to finish building my other pc. Is this worth the money?

It probably is... But it's kind of hard to recommend a 775 CPU in 2013 minus a few months. GW2 is wierd and you do want a true quad core for it.

I guess that I'll just keep saving. I get another paycheck in two weeks, and if it is anything I should hopefully have enough to afford it. Would enjoy rocking an i5 2500k, and I could max out GW2. Should I just get it my next paycheck, or wait until around november and keep saving my money?

Okay so I have a question on my 432 dollar machine I have a radeon 7750. What's the highest graphic card I can get??
Specs- To much to right I think you can figure it out because it's a cheap build.

Wait... Are you saying you want a higher-end graphics card?

The graphic card is good for the price but I would like to know what the highest one I can get because I don't want to buy the best one and find out it won't work

The highest-end card I would put in your system is a 7870 right now. Beyond that you're looking at some bottlenecking and a necessary PSU upgrade.
