Hi all,

This week, we have sat down and looked at what you can get for around £500 in terms of building a new PC to play SWTOR (amongst other games)

Enjoy

How can you build a rig for  game thats not released yet that we do not know the ending system requirements to? Its a nice gesture but a little premature I think.

The build in the article is identicle to the system I bought 6 months ago for about 1500NZD (which is around 600ish pounds?).

Except I got a GTX460 rather than a Raedon. 

It runs all games I threw at it at full 1920 x 1080 with no issues. I am 100% sure it'll handle SWTOR without any problems. At launch anyway, who knows what graphical upgrade they will do once the 3rd exp hits. :P

I would wait, for a couple of reasons.

1) The game isn't about to drop.  Until it is getting to that point, the requirements for the game are only speculative.

2) The game isn't about to drop.  Hold on to that money and wait to get a rig for as long as you can, because the furthure in the future you buy the computer with, the more computer you will get for the same money.

 

That being said, that's a good article!
