Thank you very much for taking the time to read this! This issue is very very frustrating and I need a professionals opinion!
First I will tell you my computer hardware as it's directly related to my question. I'm a complete computer newbie so I'm going to link you directly to the newegg product link to the hardware I bought.
First I bought this custom built computer:

Then I picked up this video card:

and this power supply:

and this memory:

It's relevant to note that I went into my Windows 8 bios and enabled all CPU cores and put them on manual so that they're all enabled. The RAM is also clocked to the default 1600mhz as it should be.
Now for the question. With this kind of build, is it unrealistic to expect 30-40+ frames per second in SWTOR during a warzone (where are there are 16 people total)?
I can barely get over 30, and that's if there's only one person I'm fighting.
I've heard of other people whose rigs are at about the same level as mine who get more fps.
This issue is driving me crazy and I just need to know if it's my rig, or the game.
If it's my rig, I'll buy more hardware to accommodate this game. But if it's not any of your insights would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I know it was probably tedious to go through each newegg link one at a time, but I wanted to give you guys as full a picture as I could about the speccs of my computer
