Get a gtx 670 / 690 if you can afford it so you don't have to think about upgrading in a year or two.

I played GW2 beta with i5-2500K and GTX560ti with all settings maxed and the framerate was between 35 (cities) and 60 (outdoors) with vsync on.

Rumors say that there will be ultra settings over the "high" ones used in beta, but who knows... Anyway it will be totally playable on the computer you're looking at. I just would not pay extra for the BluRay drive unless you're 100% sure you want one to watch/rip movies on PC, rather spend the money on better graphics card and pick regular DVD drive. BluRay will never be needed to install games for example.

Get a gtx 670 / 690 if you can afford it so you don't have to think about upgrading in a year or two.

Extra $200-400 is pretty big step up for something that has smallish benefit for MMOs.

Alright thanks much you guys, I'll go pre-order it now.
I appreciate your help! The MMO-Champion community has once again proven to be one of the most helpful ones on the internet!

No games slated for 2-3 years going to break a sweat on a 560 ti, and you surely will run into more problem w/ a dual chip card than a single chip card.
