Any suggestions anyone?

I am currently purchasing a major upgrade for my PC in an attempt to achieve 2 goals. 1. Run SW:TOR at the best possible graphics without losing performance 2. Stream without any hardware lag issues using Xsplit. Here are my computer specs. Operating System: Windows 2.6.1.7601 (Service Pack 1) CPU Type: Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz CPU Speed: 3.21 GHz System Memory: 3.87 GB Video Card Model: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 Video Card Memory: 2.65 GB Video Card Driver: nvd3dum.dll Desktop Resolution: 1600x900 Hard Disk Size: 931.51 GB Hard Disk Free Space: 385.54 GB (41%) Download Speed: 2.02 MB/s (16.9 mbps) I have a budget of about 250 dollars. Some are telling me to get an SSD, some are telling me to upgrade my processor to an i7 quad core. Honestly I have no idea what I should do. Any and all feedback is much appreciated

Will there ever be a Pod Racing system implemented in the game? With the implementation of Space Missions many of us are curious about Pod Racing.
