hi guys... I wanted to know you guys' opinion on this processor and gpu for swtor.
I want to play at max settings with a resolution of 1920.
cpu: CPU: Intel Core i5-3470 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 2GB Video Card

should I upgrade the cpu? or is the cpu enough to run the game at max as long as its paired with a good gpu?
is that gpu enough? what do you ppl think?

What's your budget? I'd suggest going for the i5 3570k just in case you ever want to OC it, plus the price difference isn't huge IIRC.

As far as GPUs, that's a solid one but I'd probably bump it up to the 7870 if you can afford it.

If SWTOR is your primary game then that CPU/GPU combo is plenty. It will also do very well with most modern games although you may have to lower settings a bit on a few games.
 
yes well thats a nice choice but id say the 3570k is worth the xtra dollars, so u can overclock it later and even at stock its faster than the 3470.

also the 7850 is decent but if u can afford to get a 7870 2gb id recommand it over the 7850 as its a bit faster.
