Lads will tell you more on shoping list, but I would recommend to biuld it yourself.

It sounds scary and you will have some stress, but after you will finish it will give you alot of confidence and satisfaction of " I did something and it haven't blown in to my face, yet!".

There are tons of YouTube videos of " how to biuld pc". So it's grand m8. I did that mysef few days ago for the first time and I am really happy I did it. I won't be afraid to biuld my next system.

I can't link, but I pretty sure that game won't be pushing the limits on hardware. Something with i5 2400, 6870 or 6950 will be way more then enough.

A 6950 will absolutely murder SWTOR on max settings at 1080p.

Thanks for the advise guys, so im thinking of a build based around an i5 & the 6950 for graphics.

Would it be possible to get a mock build made up? I'm at a loss when it comes to motherboards/memory/cables needed etc

Cheers

I can't link, but you can do it yourself too m8.

If you are not in to overclocking then go for i5 2400 and h61 mobo and 6950 or 6870 depending on the rest of the stuff.

Try making one biuld yourself too. It's a good exercise.

Just tried my hand at a build here, can u guys have a look to ensure that all parts are compatible? Maybe have i left something out of the order etc? This is my first time configuring a build on my own so all help is greatly appreciated ^^

Thanks

I might be blind, but I don't see hdd?

If you got some extra moneys, maybe get an 500gb hdd for storage and a 64gb ssd?

Ssd will be a blessing for mmorpg.
