Hey guys, I am planning to soon build a new computer in the upcoming months. I am mainly building this computer for Star Wars: The Old Republic. This game should be released by the end of the year...but there is still no set release date. I feel like it's the best idea for me to wait until a month before the release date to order parts as I can get the best deal/parts. I do not need a computer upgrade until this game.
My goal is to be able to run SWTOR on max graphics/resolution/settings in the fastest manner. I know that there may be bandwidth problems from time to time, but that is unstoppable. I am particularly interested in what components/specs will effect my MMORPG playing. Things that would increase my effectiveness in PvP, seeing very far terrain, loading into a new city/planet etc.
Enough of that though, lets talk about the new build.
Parts I will be reusing from my current computer. I have generic speakers that will do for now. I will be purchasing Windows 7 64bit.
Samsung T260 Rose-Black ToC LCD Monitor
Razer Lycosa Keyboard
Razer DeathAdder Mouse
My current wishlist on newegg:
Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
ASUS M5A97 EVO AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-850TX 850W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V v2.91 SLI Certified
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Thuban 3.3GHz, 3.7GHz Turbo
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
Palit NE5X56T01142-1041F GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Now I really do not have much experience with choosing computer hardware, so please tell me what looks out of place/cheap/stupid. Also please advise what I'm asking of out of this computer. I would like it ready to play any other game I may be interested in in the next 5-8 years without a problem (not saying on max settings, but pretty decent).
I don't have a really set budget but I would like to see it stay around where it is, not exceeding $1200.
Thanks in advance!
