Hello all, thanks for taking the time to help me. I searched the forum to see if some one had already asked for advice catered around this game, but they weren't for me. Couple weeks ago I saw a bunch of stickies for best builds based on budget voted by the community and I saw a AMD one for less than $500. Would that be sufficient?
SW:TOR System Requirements
Approximate Purchase Date: Before 12/20/12. I heard some new Bulldozer thing is coming out, should I wait till then?
Budget Range: No more than $800. If you can help it, don't try and max my budget.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: swtor, mmos, converting video files, photoshop
Parts Not Required: I already have a keyboard and mouse, but do you have good suggestions for gaming ones? Monitor, but should I upgrade?
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: no preference, I'm in Texas though. Closest (2 hours) Microcenter to me is in Dallas.
Country of Origin: Texas, United States
Parts Preferences: No preference
Overclocking: Maybe, if it means going cheaper and is safe.
SLI or Crossfire: Not needed
Monitor Resolution: Max monitor setting is 1680x1050
Additional Comments: I'm really looking to build a budget computer with its main use for this game. I'm not interested in a super computer that can play max settings on any game I throw at it. The only games I really play are MMOs and some RPGs. I've been using a Intel T2300 1.67 GHz CPU (I recently beat The Witcher 2), so I am use to really shitty settings and more concerned that I don't have to wait 5 minutes every time I load into a new area while my team thinks I disconnected.
If you're curious to see what I use now:
Intel CPU T2300 @ 1.66GHz
Intel 82801 PCI Bridge - 2448
AMD HD 6470 1gb
2 Gigs of Ram
Thermaltake TR2 600W PSU
