The machines spec upon delivery is:

ASUS P6T x58 Motherboard

i7 (930)

6gb of memory

240gb SSD

Nvidia 610 2gb Graphics card.


I'm quite content with the rest of the spec but I'd really like a graphics card that will run SWTOR and similar games with a good FPS rate on high settings but without breaking my bank account.

Any suggestions?

Some other good budget options would be an R9 270X, R9 280 or even a GTX 760 (their price has plummeted since the r9 285 was released)

If these are a little too pricey then take a look at the R9 270 and the GTX 660/660ti mentioned above

It really depends upon what you can afford!

500W *Should* be enough but it all depends on the specifications. Do you know the make/model of PSU?

It's an Ipine. Not exactly top notch but will have to do until after Christmas is over and done with.

Just make sure it can supply enough current on the 12V rail for whatever graphics card you choose.
