  1. Well, they don't send to UK and I never ever buy any piece of technology that isn't brand new and factory sealed. You can end up paying more if it proves faulty, and even if it has some warranty, you waste your time exchanging it.
  2. I ordered the parts I listed few posts above, they should run SW:ToR well for now. You really helped me guys, thank you.
  3. I read that 6770 is basically a renamed 5770. If that's the same card, then it's great, because that's the most I can afford. What CPU do you have?
  4. I used to know a lot about PCs, just went out of the loop for few years, mostly working and playing on consoles in what free time I had. I won't have a problem with putting all the pieces together. Also I already have an OS and did hundreds of system installs. After few hours of intense searching, it turns out I can build an acceptable PC that should run SWToR with high details, maybe even in 1080p. I will post the specs, just note that I really cannot go even 5 pounds above what those parts cost, I'm already stretching my tight budget as it is. If you have any suggestions, it has to be exactly the same price point or cheaper. - Athlon II x2 270 - MSI Radeon HD 6770 (15 pounds more, but way more FPS in most tests) - 4GB Corsair 1600 DDR3 What do you guys think about this setup? Of course there will be some bottle-necking, but it is probably the best I can do with this budget. It should run SWToR nicely and some Blizzard games like StarCraft II. Now gotta find a motherboard and a case. Which MoBo do you recommend? Will 500W PSU be enough?
  5. Did anyone play SWToR or a similarly demanding game on Radeon 6670 and can comment on its performance?
  6. Thanks for answering! Although I'm not upgrading that machine, I'm building a new one.
  7. Hello everyone. Last week I downloaded and tried SW:ToR and decided to stay. Problem is, as I haven't played anything on PC in ages, needed a machine for work and internet browsing, not gaming, I have a simple setup. It's something like: - one core ~1.4 GHz CPU - 2 GB RAM - integrated GPU - Windows 7 I gave you the specs not because I want to upgrade this, but to say that on this PC, SW:ToR works *almost* well. Like, it needs just a bit more power to be fine with the game. Of course it's all on minimal graphic settings, but it was hugely surprising to me after hundreds of posts in which people were saying what a minimal requirements for this game are. I would like to build something on which the game can run at low-to-middle graphic settings nicely. I have rather limited resources at the moment (200 British Pounds). 1280x768 resolution without AA, AF or shadows, maybe in high details if possible. Simple Intel Dual Core CPU with 2/4 GBs of RAM don't cost that much here and should totally do for now. What I'm most unsure about is GPU. What is the cheapest graphic card I can buy which can provide an acceptable level of experience? Any help you can give is appreciated.
