Of course, if price were no object, I'd have an unlocked Intel I5. What I'm getting at is, it's not really necessary to have a great processor to have a good experience with SW:ToR. Here's a chart from Tom's Hardware that illustrates my point:

If you look closely, you'll see that Intel's core I3 (which is a dual core) performs as well (in gaming) as the best products AMD is putting out, including their 8 core monster.
I'm not saying my processor is better than a quad core, (especially if I used this computer for anything like video editing). However, as a budget rig for playing games on, your money is better spent on a good graphics card and waiting to upgrade the processor later.
