Should be ok. Nice processor speed. Mine is 3.0 lol
Video card is ok. I recently upgraded mine from a radeon hd 5850 to a radeon hd 7870.
If you can upgrade your video card you'll really be in the bling. If you can't afford it don't worry....it's not like it's critical with your current setup. Your current setup is good, but your next 2 upgrades I would suggest would be...
1) video card
2) power supply (mine is over 1000 watt, but a 700-800 would be more than sufficient for you).
**note** I was able to play GW2 on max settings and every other game with my radeon hd 5850. But, as you can see i'm in the 800 range of the 5000 series, so I'm in the high end of that series. Your 670 is in the mid-range of the 6000 series. There are two levels of quality in each series...100's and 10's. THe higher they both are the better, but not always...for example...
5950 > 5570
6950 > 5950
5950 > 6250
If you look at the 3 listings you'll notice the first two seem right, but the third one seems off. 900 is in the high end of the 5000 series and 50 is mid-range for that 900 group versus the 200 which is in the "low end" of the 6000 series and 50 is mid-range for that low end 200 gorup. Make sense? Hope it helps. You can always always look up benchmarks. Try to do a search for radeon 5850 vs 6250 so you get an idea of one card versus another.
You can also find listings that show a bunch of video cards and how they rate (bar graph form). You'll be able to see how much of an improvement you get by going for a better card and you'll easily see when you start getting less bang for every dollar you spend. If you look below you'll see what I mean when you look at Card C. There's site that do these and a bunch of cards and show this. You just need to look up benchmark video cards.
Card A ($80)= 50 points
Card B ($90) = 60 points
Card C ($120) = 65 points

Low is the best your going to get in most games for the best frame rates. You can push medium but your fps at that point might not be playable in some cases. The video card is $70-$80. This is on the very low end compared to much better cards such as the 7770. Keep in mind you get what you pay for so don't expect much

The specifications you gave us prepare that this is an older laptop (probable 3-4 years), and thank you to be "upgraded". What you probably did no longer let us know is the producer and kind. some businesses build their desktops with custom aspects so as that upgrading them is impossible. The device board isn't s prevalent length, or the holes interior the case for the connector won't in wonderful condition with the different boards. this is complete to tension you to purchase a clean pc quite then improve. So it ought to no longer be available to enhance the laptop. To improve this is probable going to require changing the device board, processor, memory, video card, audio card, and probable reinstalling domicile windows. in case you have on no account build or repaired a computer, this is previous maximum people's skill point. (No insult meant.) once you evaluate the fee of all the improve aspects with the fee of a clean laptop, you ought to keep approximately 20-25%. yet provided which you have skill point mandatory to hold mutually the aspects.
