I'm sure system requirements aren't going to be released any time soon (and if they are anyone wish to point us to a link cuase I like being wrong when it comes to these things)

My Current Specs

OS Name: Microsoft Windows 8 Pro with Media Center
Processor: Intel(R) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM): 24.0 GB
Graphic Card Name: ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series ATI Radeon 5750

I'll be going to a
ATI Radeon 7750 in March.

What do you have, and are you planning an upgrade any time soon? if so what are you planning?

I just did an upgrade to my desktop that I built two years ago. I kept the case(Silverstone), psu(pc power and cooling 720) and my EVGA 560ti.

This is the case, black with side fans and window:

Computer boots to desktop in 10 seconds from power on. Highly recommend that cooler too..

I did the upgrade because it was time not for the game. Plays GW2 flawlessly..

So far I am liking it. Had no problems yet. My first Asus board. My other builds were either evga/msi/gigabyte.

I tried out GW2 to see what my fps was and I was shocked that I gotten up to 81 fps. And the settings were all on high.

And since there will be an SLI profile out for the game I am getting 2.

Looking at getting / building a new PC for ARR, and this thread has given me the much needed boost to see it through (not to mention some handy dandy hints ^^). Thanks you guys

[AdorraEloom]

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
I7 960 ~ 3.2Ghz (8 CPU's)
12G Ram (top of line cant remember name)
128G SSD (500G HDD raptor 10, 000 rpm for storage)
GTX 480 SC

My PC Should be ok for ARR, only thing I'm considering is upgrading my video card to the GTX 680.

Question I have is, would it be really noticeable in general upgrading from 480GTX to the 680GTX? I feel that the GTX 480 SC is still a pretty good card, I Have no problem playing any games on max on my PC still.
