New Computer

[Turismo]

I don't know too much about PCs but I've been looking at getting a new desktop for SW:TOR. I don't really want to spend a lot of money on one now. I figured I could upgrade it as I go or get a really good PC later on.

The PC I have in mind is the Acer Aspire Desktop

CPU: AMD A6-3600 2.1 ghz
RAM: 4GB DDR3 SDRAM
HD: 1TB
Graphics: AMD HD6530D

I'll be able to purchase it for around $400. Is it worth it to buy or should I be looking at getting a better computer?

Save more if you want a computer that isn't slow the day you buy it.

Sure it's a pretty "decent" computer for 400$, but as chaud said, it will be slow and will not run your games very good.

As Chaud pointed out, you are better off saving a bit more and get something that will actually run well from the get-go. What you linked is certainly not terrible, but for gaming it is not that good. The 6530D is a worthless GPU for gaming.

For $400, not including Windows, you could potentially get something like this:

Extreme Budget Gaming 400

MoBo: MSI H61M-P21 (B3) – $59.99 CPU: Intel Pentium G840 – $84.99 RAM: Kingston Value 1333MHz 2x2GB – $23.99 GPU: XFX Radeon 6770 – $109.99 HDD: WD Caviar Blue 500GB – $44.99 PSU: Antec EarthWatts 430W – $39.99 Case: NZXT Gamma Classic – $35.99 Review Estimated Total Price – $400

Recommended for: Budget gaming build that can handle most newer games. Offers great value for money.

Mind that the HDD price is a bit off. Find more sample builds here: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...-Sample-Builds
