Mainly play WoW but maybe going to pick up SWTOR soon want to be able to run at max settings and FPS above 50. I do 25man raidings now and getting about 4 to 14 FPS atm on some fights. Let me know what you guys think.
sorry cant post links
That build will not run SWTOR on max settings above 50 FPS, in fact, it probably won't even run WoW on max settings above 50 FPS.
1. Almost none of us recommend AMD CPUs, they may be cheap, but you pay the price performance wise... If I were you, I'd go with the i3 2100 instead. That is the budget Intel chip, and as you can see from this comparison, it blows the AMD 631 away pretty handily. If you switch the CPU, you'll also have to switch the MoBo.
2. The 560 non-Ti is not a very good card. You almost have to either go with the 560 Ti. A good alternative is the AMD 6870, it actually outperforms the 560 Ti in a lot of tests, but costs less.
3. I've never heard of the brand "KINGWIN" before. A lot of people make the mistake of buying cheap, off-brand PSUs and end up regretting it later on. You don't want to skimp on a power supply, it is the lifeblood of your system.
4. You'll never get away with just using a 120GB SSD unless you only play 1-2 games and don't put anything else on your system. You either need to get a larger SSD (which are much more expensive), or a traditional mechanical drive. You seem to be on a pretty tight budget, so going with the mechanical drive is the better option.
He didn't include an OS so I didn't. :3 Otherwise, my build should edge Noteworthy's out (Not saying his is bad). Better GPU, solid PSU, more RAM, and a better motherboard. ^.^
Thanks for the help guys look like i might go with the CPU and RAM from fuzzykins and the others from noteworthynerd. How do you think the performance will be in SWTOR? Yes i didnt say anything about the OS but might as well go to the 64 bit since I'm upgrading.
