Want to play on high graphics

[The Great Chalupa]

Hey guys,
I know building your own pc is better than buying a premade one, so skip that, I'm using the CyberpowerPC GUA 880.

I already replaced the power supply on it to a pricey 600 watt EVGA one, so that's fine.
It has a GT 610 in it, and it has really poor performance even on low graphics on SWTOR. On WoW it runs fine on low, but will lag badly on anything higher.
I want to be able to run SWTOR and WoW on high graphics without having the ridiculous lag that I get (It's almost impossible to even turn the camera)
Would I just have to replace the graphics card? Or is there some other part that would be acting up?

It really depends on what you want to do. Unfortunately the AMD CPU is going to struggle with large raids, if that's what you're doing in WoW and SWTOR, but a new graphics card will definitely be needed first.

Also, moving this to the build/upgrade subforum

GPU definitely needs replaced. How much can you spend?

While it would benefit, you're biggest mistake was wasting $530 on a pretty poor set up. I don't even know how they consider that "Gamer Ultra". AMD Processors are pretty weak for MMO games as well. Replacing the graphics card will help by a good amount but probably won't completely solve issues for things like 25man raids.

I'm aware of your first sentence, but you would've just been better off optimizing the parts better for the games you play by going with at least a dual core intel and a decent graphics card. This would've easily been obtainable by building your own. If you can return that computer to better invest $530 I would honestly do so while you have the chance. Even if you don't build your own, I'm sure somewhere here can help you find a premade that is better worth the money.

20/20 hindsight, we all love having it

Unlocked CPU for overclocking, but the dual-core/dual-thread-only hurts it. It should, however, be able to play SWTOR on high.
