I was curious, this is my first post I have made-so I had no idea what to put this question under. However I was looking to build a computer to run SWTOR (Star Wars: The Old Republic) at max settings without any graphical lag. I have some ideas of what I would need but I would like to know from more educated people on the matter. I also would like to play more Steam games aswell, but my main focus is SWTOR. Thank you! I would like to add I want the ability to stream as well.

Pentium Dual Core G6960 2.93GHz OR Phenom II X3 B75
GeForce GTX 465 OR Radeon HD 5850 1024MB
4 GB RAM
Win Xp 32
DX 9
15 GB

Is the recommended which is very low.

I would advice something like
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

Case is excluded because that is more personal taste

The FX-8350 isn't a good match for a PC built just for SWTOR. Half the cores will be wasted. Other than that it's good. Should probably replace the FX-8350 with an Athlon X4 760K and cheaper motherboard, he could easily save £100 from that and not notice any difference in SWTOR.

Agreed; SWTOR does not require much!

Yeah the reason for the slightly over build was in case later down the line they decided they wanted to start playing other newer games/ or other mmo's.
