I'm running AMD FX 6300 @4.0Ghz (Black Edition) and Ge Force GTX 2GB 750ti Superclocked at 1150Mhz, 8gb DDR-3. There is absolutely nothing wrong with 6300FX CPU. It overclocks like a champ, costs 80$ and for its value/performance it beats i3 any day, any game. I run SWTOR at 1920x1080p all settings on HIGH with shadows on medium, other settings enabled and average 40-45fps anywhere on the map and 35 average in main cities with lots of people around. For the money FX6300 costs you can't go wrong, pair it with 2GB 750ti and you will have a great time in SWTOR without breaking a buck.

That's good too know, I am still deciding if I should go with dps or guardian spec. I do prefer to be able to take head on the toughest enemy while having great defense.

Appreciate the comments, yes I'm pretty much only interested in PVE content. In the last few days I had been researching on different Guardian talent trees and Vigilance for leveling purpose alone seems the most appealing to me at the moment. Although I wouldnt mind leveling as guardian if I can have adequate healing. At what level do companions come into picture? I'm looking for healing/assist type of companion.

Very interesting, appreciate that. I can see how those points could make Force Sweep a major skill. I was under impression that 31 point talent in defensive tree would be "the most important" if I wanted to focus on tanking spec. I will look over those points you mention, I 'm getting a fast idea Force Sweet is extremely important in end game. Thanks

I'm looking for classic Swtor tank/solo build. I'm a new player to Swtor and currently level 8. What I have seen so far from the game abilities I came up with current talent calculator: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#500GbhzudrdfzZcZhr.2 Now, I don't know many of the level 50 skills and abilities and my pure judgement is based of being main tank/warrior in world of warcraft for many years. If you could advice me on specific abilites that will be used more often I would welcome some criticism.
