Need rec on laptop or pc, I am not a good builder
I am wanting to buy a laptop or pc that will run GW/GW2 that I don't have to build. I have 4 kids, so I don't really have the time or ability to build except for during naps, lol. So I am needing to pick everyone's brain on what would be best. If there is one that I could just replace the graphics cards, if that would be best, what is the best graphics card within a reasonable budget? I want to do this specifically this Friday so I can buy it before my husband spends my half of tax returns.
 Thank you |

Price Range would be useful.
Also, do you plan on doing any other games? Or doing any other intensive thingies on the computer? |

I would like to keep it under $1500. Im looking at Alienware, but not sure it that is a good brand. I am pretty dumb when it comes to computer shopping. I plan on just using it for Guild Wars and Diablo 3.

Are you in the USA? Do you have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers already? $1500 is more than you need to spend for the games you mentioned.

Yes, I am in the USA. I currently play on my husband's Toshiba laptop, so I don't have keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitor or anything, and when I am playing, I lag out like crazy, have to shut down and restart during the middle of missions and such, and I just want something for just my games that I won't lag out so bad. I have wanted an Alienware for a long time, but I am hearing bad things about them now, so I am lost. My brother in law said that he will help me build one if I figured out what parts I need, but I don't know where to start with that either, lol.

There's a quick link for you - that DIY (Do It Yourself) kit will rip through GW2 and won't even notice that GW1 is running when you play it. All you need is to add Windows 7 and a Monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-754-_-Product http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824009263 That's approx $925 + shipping - you will have to pick out your own keyboard and mouse as they are subjective to personal tastes. That will serve your GW1 & GW2 needs and do really well with most games on the market in the forseeable future as well.
