Need upgarde to my ati radeon 5450 hd graphics card for SWTOR Ultra

[duraljr]

Here are my specs:

Intel i7 cpu 960 @ 3.20 GHz
Acpi x64 motherboard
450w power supply
4GB Ram

I got some money to spend on upgrades if i also have to upgrade ram and power supply. Thanks in advance for the help

get another 5850 for crossfire. You will need a new PSU.

Or you can just get a 6970 it will let you max everything out. Tomshardware did a full review on SWTOR and different graphics cards. You might even wait till Jan and get the 7000 series cards..they will give you more performance for the same money and prices of 6970 and 6950 will come down by then.

You can wait for the 7xxx card which will have better price/performance ratio.

If you want something that will last, follow these steps

1) Get a 750W PSU, like the Corsair TX750. If you want even more upgradability, go with an 850-1000W PSU

2) 8GBs of 1600 RAM would be good

3) I recommend you get a single overclocked HD6950 or GTX570
