Upgrade priority

[imperialguard22]

Hi I'm looking for a priority upgrade list for swtor performance if anyone could help me, my currect specs are as follows

OS: W7 64
Gpu: EVGA Nvidia gt 220 1GB ddr3
Cpu: AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core 500+ 2.6 GHz
Mobo: MCP61PM-HM (nettle 2) [esc brand]
PSU: BFG 450w
Ram: 4GB ddr2

feel free to be blunt

The reality is it's time for a new build, but you could probably squeeze another year out of what you're using with a 6770 with the plans of doing a new build down the road.

Anything more than a 6770 and I think you'd introduce major cpu bottlenecks. It should give you enough to get you by with lower detail settings at 1920x1080 until you can do a new build.

If you have more than $500, then definitely a whole new build...in fact, I wouldn't upgrade that build anymore since it'll probably be scrapped in less than a year anyways.

is anything salvagable? like the psu at least?

The OS, HDD (probably, if it is SATA), and case (again, maybe, if it's ok)
