As long as they still have DX9 support there is little reason to fret for a lot of people. If they all the sudden come out and say "hey guys, you'll need at least DX10 for GW2" then you might want to start being concerned.

Having read your responses following the quote above. Honestly, you're not likely to ever hit high on that. You'll probably end up on lower settings. My advice would be to perhaps look at building a new one (if you feel comfortable doing so that is, and if you're installing new cpu's, it's not much harder). For 4-500 bucks you could easily build something that would easily improve upon what you have now. And if you could save up 700 or so you'll be able to build one that will last you for quite some time. But, that's entirely up to you. With the specs you've given, it should be possible to upgrade over time using your old components. But, if you can save up and buy most of the components to be able to build one slightly before release of GW2, you might get some better deals and be able to maximize your bang/bucks.
Can someone give me a quick check on my specs?

The i5 2400/2500 doesn't have hyperthreading whereas the i7 2600 does, hyperthreading isn't used while gaming so unless you do lots of video encoding or music stuff, there's really no point spending the extra £80/$100.
The 560Ti, is a hell of alot faster than the 560, the 560 is on par/weaker in some cases to the 460. The price of a 560 doesn't warrent the performance you get from it, since a cheaper card is similar/slightly better, or a slighlty more expensive card is a hell of alot better.
I believe I've heard Anet folks say that if you can run medium settings for GW1, you can run low (but completely functional) settings for GW2.

What are the system requirements for Guild Wars 2?
The system requirements haven't been finalized, but just as with the original Guild Wars series, we're committed to creating a beautiful game that will play great on mid-range gaming PCs.
I remember reading something about a year ago (i think in a video) that if your pc could play with 1st guild wars it would be able play the 2nd one.
Highly unlikely. We've been quite a few years down the road, and the systems that were considered high-end when guild wars started selling are slower then current low end (discounting IGP).
And if you must buy IGP, get AMD Llano. It runs in circles around shitty sandy bridge IGP, and doesn't shit all over graphics quality like intel does. You most likely will be able to run GW2 on Llano on settings better then lowest, and not look too crap. You will most likely be barely able to run low on sandy bridge, and it will look like crap to boot due to intel cheating on various filtering techniques.
I'm pretty sure Pyre is correct. I've also seen them state that if you ran GW1 on Ultra, you'll be able to run GW2 on low/medium.
Fark...have to upgrade from hamsters to Wile E. Coyote then.

I'm aiming towards running the game on ultra, all settings set as high as possible.
PC:
i7 860
hd 5850
4 gig ddr 3 ram 1333
7500 rpm hard drive
w7
I think the biggest bottleneck would be the hard drive in stead of an SSD drive, but can anyone estimate on whether or not it will be possible to run it on ultra?

This naturally is complete bullocks, the game doesn't go behind Ultra settings, so even the world's best pc at this time would run gw2 on low/medium? How can they possibly know a machine that out-does a game by running everything on ultra is not good enough to run gw2 on ultra? Unless they said something along the lines of; if your pc is struggling to run everything on ultra in gw1 you'll probably run gw2 on low/medium.

No offence but are you that stupid? It means that if you could just get it to ultra you'd be fine getting to medium in Gw2 but obviously if you could easily get ultra easily,you should be fine getting ultra in GW1. Remember when Gw1 was released computers on average were of a lower spec.
