    For WoW MoP this will be fine. Can't say for sure about GW2, but it probably is also ok.

    Two things:
    1) If you are upgrading your current computer, make sure that the parts fit in your case and your psu is strong enough (>400W).
    2) If this is a new build, you are missing:
    - Case
    - PSU
    (- Windows)
    (- peripherals: mouse, keyboard, monitor, speakers)
    Why do something simple, when there is a complicated way?

    Honestly, I'd say find a way to squeeze about $50.00 more into your budget, and get an i5. The phenom is just incredibly outdated at this point.

    Also, what Biernot said regarding what you are missing.
