RevansFollower Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I have done some (and by some I mean a WHOLE LOT) of research on computer parts and gaming, and put together a possible list of components for my budget swtor build. Please give any advice you can on any of the parts. Also, I know the i3 2120 is one of the "low-end" cpu's, but with the other parts, will it run swtor on max graphics with ~60 fps? I am willing to sacrifice AA and other stuff, but I no-likey pixels! Here is the build: Case: Corsair Carbide 500r White http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139010&Tpk=corsair%20500r%20white CPU: Intel i3-2120 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115077&Tpk=i3%202120 Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128502 Ram: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233144 Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908 Hard Drive: Western Digital 500GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136769&cm_sp=Cat_Hard_Drives-_-Spotlight-_-22-136-769 Power Supply: Corsair Enthusiast Series 650W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139020 I know a few things are missing. I really could care less about the optical drive, because they are all basically the same. An SSD is in the future when I upgrade. And also, is the Power Supply enough at 650W, or do I need more?

SKULLPHYRE Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 That looks good. Unless you are going to Crossfire or Sli, 650 watts is plenty. Cards are using less not more power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKULLPHYRE Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 As for will it run at 60 fps? Probably not. Game is cpu intensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevansFollower Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 As for will it run at 60 fps? Probably not. Game is cpu intensive. Hmm. Well then, how about an AMD FX-4100? It is about the same price and has four cores and a higher rate, but I heard some bad things about AMD's new line. And I know I would have to change the mobo too.
