Think this will be able to run it on high?

That was my thoughts exactly, especially considering my card is the 448 core varient from gigabyte, so it actually runs even better than the 560ti. I play BF3 online with ~everything~ at ultra, including AA and shadows, and even on the 64player outdoor maps it never drops below 55fps.
I'd be seriously concerned for the future of GW2 as a product if it were so poorly optimized that it ran harder than BF3.

Can't see exactly what my FPS was there, looks like 52 in the middle of combat with plenty of addons on.
And as I said, had over 100FPS in both SWTOR and rift both had over 100 FPS while questing and in town (which is all I did in that game) so I doubt it would be much less than 60 in a raid environment.
But yes, I'm sure 'bf3 is the exception' *rolls eyes*
Something is wrong on the Internet!
Delias is here to save the day.
first, 25ppl standing in this area not casting spells and not mounted. without water nearby etc. that is not what i could honestly call '60fps on ultra'. especially there is no dx11 effects visible there.
second is a good fps fight, unlike ultraxion or madness. but as you said, its 50fps average, not 60.
from what we have seen gw2 have much better gfx and beta have ultra settings blocked, that should mean the 50fps will go down to 30-40.
and yes bf3 is an exception. unlike crysis2, dirt 3, shogun or metro 2033 it has good fps, especially on nv5xx.
Meh.
You also have to factor in the fact that MMOs are not FPSs, and you do not notice the difference between 40 and 60FPS. (unless it's your processor lowering your FPS, as that is more noticeable than video card FPS lag in MMOs)
And I didn't say 25people standing relatively still was '60fps on ultra', I said 25people standing relatively still was '84fps on ultra'.
In combat the lowest I've ever noticed in 25man raids has been 25FPS, and that was when Ultraxion was bugged and people were DCing like mad so hardly counts. (Also not counting when I was screen sharing and frapsing madness. Lol.)
I doubt GW2 will be so badly optimized that a computer that can get around 60+FPS at all times (besides random factors, like Ultraxion) with everything on ultra in other MMOs (as I said, didn't drop below 60 in rift or SWTOR either, besides one terribly optimized cave in swtor that randomly dropped me to 30 even though I had 100+ EVERYWHERE else I went in that game. Point is the wow = toasters argument doesn't work) will be unable to get 50-60FPS in GW2 at most times, with maybe AA/shadows turned down slightly (besides large team battles, we need to see what they do about those.)
i agree that fps above 40 in stress is still great and everything else below, but i answered precise question as i understood it: will 570 play gw2 on max details with 60fps. imo it will not be possible, unless max settings are strongly limited.
if he asked will it play good fps with high details my answer would be: surely
I do agree my initial question was poorly worded. It's pretty much impossible to get 60fps across the board in ANY mmo, simply because there are so many multiplitive factors at play in terms of player count, spell effect count, shadow shaders being used, etc. I wouldn't expect my card to sit idle on 60fps in GW2, but it would be good to know if it will comfortably sit in the 40-60 range if I had all settings maxed out (except perhaps shadows, I don't ~need~ that to be topped off) without wandering out of that range. On my old pc, I got very used to raiding DS25 in like 7fps, which was abysmal, and I really REALLY never want to return to that kind of environment again in a game like GW2, especially on a computer I very recently built SPECIFICALLY to play GW2 on. I can comfortably play at anything as low as 30fps. I'd just prefer knowing I don't have to.
(PS I would use the linked sites to see for sure where my pc stands interms of recommended specs, but currently I can't access my gaming pc to do so)

Forgive me, I know nothing of computers. Would I be able to run GW2 on this computer?

There are no recommended specs for the game yet,
any websites linked will just tell you whether or not you meed the minimum.
And I can't imagine you not being able to play with a comfortable FPS in gw2, besides possibly having to lower AA/shadows.
If a 560ti doesn't get decent FPS on mostly ultra settings, it will mean that more average PCs won't get decent FPS on low, which I doubt anet intends.
Considering games that won't even run on my laptop (bf3) don't dip below 60FPS on my 560ti, GW2 having below 40FPS on it would mean that average-lower end PCs would be beyond screwed.
Will this run it on Really good settings?

It depends how do you plan upgrade your comp in future. Both your graphic card and processor arnt best for MMOs imo. There is no rly cheap upgrade, its either processor + motherboard, or graphic card or both and no1 will be rly cheap if you want see difference and not change that part in few months.
As you said you planing on build powerfull rig I guess you will go with Intel processor. In that case, as for now I would sugest something like that:
- get motherboard which support Ivy Bridge processors - one which you wont change it in future - get to that Pentium G860 processor (its Pentium based on Sandy Bridge and its still visible faster then your Athlon), in december you can change that Pentium processor on Ivy Bridge one and maybe sell Pentium to get some bucks back - its more expensive option, but you wont need buy motherboard in future and you will see difference in performance compared to your current processor.
or
- get cheapest motherboard which support Pentium G860 plus that processor - change both in December - its cheapest option and you will see difference compared to your processor but you will want change both parts for new comp.

can i run with this on max settings?
Just to clarify (for everyone):
No one can tell how well you can run the game. Nobody know what specs are required for good / high / ultra / best / max / super graphics. All we (well, they, the ones who are actually knowledgeable) can really tell is whether or not your computer passes the minimum specs. Everything else will have to wait until ArenaNet announces the recommended settings.
