Need to Upgrade System


Sardonique

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on a few components to upgrade my current system so that I can accomplish the following goal:

 

Play SWTOR on the highest possible settings with almost no lag and a high FPS (I am also on a higher populated server if this counts towards anything).

 

And, something that will be able to adapt to any possible changes in maximum graphical compatibility in the course of this game.

 

Beyond that, this and WoW will be the only games I'll be playing. I may plan on playing the more graphically intensive games like BF3 or Skyrim, so if you'd like you can place those into consideration. Something within a budget range of $500-$900 would be great, but don't be afraid to go beyond the aforementioned amount if your specifications will considerably improve my quality of gaming.

 

Here is my current set up:

 

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (@3.00GHz)

ASUSTek mobo PQ5 Rev 1.xx

4gigs of DDR2 ram

NVIDIA GeForce GT 240

 

I'm not sure about the power supply/any other parts, but those are the things I felt were probably the most important, if you'd like more information please ask, but include how I'd acquire such information, because my technical skillz are very limited.

 

Thank you in advance for your time and knowledge!

You can cheaply upgrade by just getting a new gpu like a nvidia550 for about 140 on newegg and maybe get a new power supply. My buddy plays on a old system but just upgraded with one of those cards and only has 4 gigs. He can play the game on high without any problems
