Badankans Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Since i dont planned to buy a new computer, ive tried to hold down the price abit. But will this do it, or is there anything i should change? (mostly thinking of the gpu). Since i havnt built a computer in ages, i really would like some support. MSI P67A-G45 REV B3 Intel Core i5 2500K 3,3GHz Corsair 8GB (2x4096MB) CL9 1600Mhz VENGEANCE 650W GeForce GTX 560Ti 1024MB OC Intel SSD 120gb So any idea / suggestions would been nice to see. Or will this hold for swtor and be able to upgrade abit in the future? The only thing i havnt doubble checket is the RAM. On a second note, the GPU was almost abit over what i wanted to pay, so nothing more expensive then that. But will this hold for a while? (thinking of changing gpu in 6-12 months) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quietas Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) That should do just fine. As an example my wife's i3 2120, 8gb RAM and a Geforce 570 hits 100fps easily. Also, the only reason to get the K model on you CPU is it's unlocked. My i7 2600K for example can easily clock from the stock 3.4ghz up to 4.5 air cooled. I get 4.7 now that added a Corsair water cooler, plus it's quieter. Edited January 25, 2012 by Quietas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thekze Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Don't expect miracles with The Old Republic... my computer is a tad better than yours and I can't even play with shadows enabled. EDIT: You can still play with shadows enabled if you don't mind having random slowdowns, especially in groups or warzones.

Iliena Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I personally don't care for your choice in processors...I feel like you get more bang for your buck out of AMD. The current AMD chips are awful for gaming. the i5 2500k is the best bang for your bucks gaming chip at the moment. Looks good OP and the Ram is fine.

CygnusMX Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I think the GTX560i Overclocked should exceed your needs .From what i hear its a good card. 8GB ram should be more than enough. At least to my knowledge Of those 2 componants you should be able to run things on high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattdoommaster Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I have a slower processor (Core i3-2100) and along with a Radeon 5850 and 8GB of RAM. I play with everything on high, typically 40 FPS or more. It only drops to about 20 FPS during peek times at the Imperial Fleet. Which is tolerable. Don't listen to the AMD fanboy. Their processors aren't competitive, particularly when you start looking at processors priced over $200. Anyone who says differently hasn't read any processor reviews from the last two years.

CygnusMX Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Im not really knowledgable about SSD hard drives but it seems games these days eat up alot of hard drive space, could always look into a 1 TB 7200rpm HD, youle need alot more room if you play alot of games. 120 GB HD might hold about 5-9 games depending on games HD space requirements. You'le need Windows 7 64bit too Edited January 25, 2012 by CygnusMX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thinking of changing gpu in 6-12 months) Cheers Similar to what I'm upgrading to. Your biggest problem is the motherboard. As far as I'm aware, the p67 chipset motherboards have no PCIe 3.0 support for the next gen of graphics cards. Go with a PCIe 3.0 ready Z68 for best futureproofing.

AnotherJaggens Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Question ere: 1024 or 1280? Gonna go for 2500k with z68 motherboard, and definetely will upgrade it with second 560ti in perspective. So is 1280 makes much difference compared to 1024?

Qoojo Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I built a new computer in Aug, and the single best thing I added was a 120 mb SSD for the OS. I am as happy/impressed with that as when I went from a 386sx to a 486. Also, stick with the 2500k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bliapis Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 im using a similar machine (see sig). The game runs good. Ofcourse pvp gets slowed when havoc breaks loose and the Fleet gets choppy when at peak hours. Other than that im satisfied. Also note that some motherboards (like the one i have) will auto-clock your CPU (called turbo boost) to 3.6 - 3.7, giving you even more juice within safety-stock brackets. I have all full at 1080p but i disabled the A/A since it killed my fps by about to 3 or 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceBumBandit Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I am on an old Q6600 with a gtx 470 oc, 4gb ddr2 ram, 120gb ssd and I run this game maxed out no worries, It still seems the Q6600 still continues to punch well above its weight when it comes to gaming even today. You could build a machine to play this game max settings very cheaply these days. No excuse really...unless you live in a hut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(thinking of changing gpu in 6-12 months) Cheers A 750W PSU is only about $30 more and gives you that much more room for growth. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139021 Even less with the rebate, compared to $104 PSU 750W with the 650W $89.99. Why not get the 750? I agree with post number 2 that I feel AMD is more bang for the buck, but intell is top of the line atm. I despise Nvidia GPU's. I would save the money from buying a gpu now then later and just buy a 6970. SSD? Meh. I would rather go with 2 7200 RPM 500G WD HDD's and run them in raid over a single tiny SSD. I have well over 120 giggs of stuff on one of my HDD, not counting my games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good OP and the Ram is fine. I prefer my AMD 1055T, but I was considering using a intell for my next build, if money allows. The 1055T preforms great for me, I had it up to 3.4ghz but backed it back down to 2.8 because I honestly have no problems with it at stock clocks. There is no better bang for your buck than the i5 2500k The 1055T is $50 less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have well over 120 giggs of stuff on one of my HDD, not counting my games. All my games are installed to a 640GB WD Black drive, except for SWTOR which is on my SSD with my OS. A SSD is the one computer upgrade you can make that positively affects just about everything in your computer. If you think SSDs are "meh" than you haven't actually used one day in and day out. Oh, and RAID for a home desktop is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickyickytricky Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 2500k is the best bang for your buck. I built my rig about 1.5 years ago and went AMD because at the time it was the best bang for your buck. Go with a bigger power supply so you dont ever have to get a new one if you decide to go SLI. I went with a 1000 watt antec. I also would suggest a better card, the 6970 can be had for 300 or less if you watch the sales on newegg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekkth Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) if you do not plan to run SLI you should cut your power supply wattage in half. get a branded 450-500 watt pcu, dont be a fool. if you do not believe me, go search for a proper wattage spreadsheets out there and do the math by yourself. the rig you describe will never pull over 400 watt from the outlet.
