I'm on quite a budget at the moment, and I'm doing my own build. I'm wondering if you guys could give me your thoughts and opinions on this? I plan on upgrading and adding a video card soon, but not until I have a bit more money. I plan on using this for:

Browsing, etc.
Gaming. (Minecraft, League of Legends, and Guild Wars 2) Occaisionally a different game.

I'll add a picture of the case also. Will this APU be able to max Guild Wars 2, or what settings should I be able to achieve on it? Any changes? Thanks.

It's ok, as you can tell, an APU isn't the best fror gaming but it looks as if it will be able to handle the games you want to play on decent settings and at high ish fps.

That will play the games you want to play decently well, and it will do comfortably if you turn the resolution down to 720p.

Lets say in order to max out Guild Wars 2, would it be better for me to switch to a CPU with a dedicated graphics card?

Probably, but it would likely cost more. What would you be prepared to extend your budget to? From 340 up to...?

I can extend my budget up to roughly 500-550 USD at the moment, if possible.

Could you help me do a build so I could max GW2?

That is 10 dollars over budget. If you want it to be 550 instead of 560, switch the Radeon 7850 graphics card for a 7790. If you want it to be closer to 500, switch it for a 7770 GHz Edition.
