I have two options here, and what I would like to know is:
A.) Which one will perform better for Star Wars: The Old Republic.
B.) Which one will perform better overall.
C.) Which is the better value for purchase.
I've been up and down the internet trying to compare the two machines piece by piece, so I figured the best option would to Register here and ask the community.
