New CPU Advice

[Cerador]

Here's my problem. My current spec can play battlefield 3 on decently high settings.

Yet when I play a game like Guild Wars 2, the system suffers.

I've heard (it may be bad advice) it's because games like BF3 are more about the GPU while Guild Wars 2 is more about CPU.

Could someone look at my specs and tell me if upgrading my CPU would help with games like Guild Wars 2.

Any other upgrade suggestions are welcome as well.

Here's my current specs:

* I was told to come here from a friend as he said you guys know your stuff. Feel free to link to any overclockers.co.uk products for me to checkout.

To be honest, I want to avoid building a new system if I can help it.

My build, while not high-end does run games like BF3 pretty darn well.

It's just certain games, like GW2 feel like something is holding it back slightly.

I haven't overclocked my CPU, no. Would that help increase performance quite a bit?

It is true that BF3 leans more towards GPU scaling while mmos favour cpu performance.

Are you looking to build a new system? Also have you overclocked your CPU?
