You just need to replace your video card. Id get a 560 ti ($230) or a 670 ($430). 670 is 2x faster than the 560. A 560 will probably be future proof for another year or so running things at 1920x1080. It can run battlefield 3 at max almost comfortably at 1920. SWTOR is a joke to a 560. A 670 is meant to run most games on the 5000 resolution. You'd probably want to look into getting a better cpu and youd have to replace the motherboard as well because the new cpus are of a slightly different shape. probably looking at 200-300 for an i series cpu and a motherboard for it. You dont really need anything better than a quadcore or i3 (i series is probably like $40 difference for like 30% improvement over quadcore series) or so if you wanted to save money. Video games are mostly graphics card dependent. Cpus are mostly for running more programs at once or encoding videos to upload to youtube. They have a small effect compared to graphics cards when actually running games. For example: Your "card" http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/video_lookup.php?gpu=Intel+G45%2FG43+Express+Chipset&id=944 High End GPUS such as 560 and the 670 http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html Heres also a general guide to computer parts http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120513143331/4changboard/images/b/bd/Falconguide.png

If your healer is complaining about some stupid crap like who is or isn't guarded, he has no idea what he's doing and is just belching out know it all information. I don't give a crap about who is or isn't guarding. I heal people and the people taking damage are being bubble shielded by me and healed by me. I am the guard on people because if someone is about to get whacked I pull them out of the way. Nobody should be taking damage that is killing you faster than I can heal the tank. Otherwise someone is either way undergeared or getting stomped on like a retard. Most likely they are a retard. Running HM Lost Island will prove this all day long.

I usually buy the social 2 gear and fill that with planetary comm mods.

Yeah get the pvp relic. Especially if you are a sorc. The 500 is random and if you aoe, it could go on anyone its also timed. The pvp you always have that stat boost into every single heal you do.

It's completely unimportant. You can level up however you want. Class missions are seperate.. If you do all the planet missions, you will hit about lvl 20 and you will be always overleveled for the planet you are on instead of being in the yellow/red on enemies and level up faster. You should use your planetary comms to buy mods and put them into social orange gear that is about 2k for a set. Pvp is the only thing that will hold you back. Your pvp rank can only be that of your level, so theres no point in running pvp past your level. You also can't pool commendations or use them to buy anything until you reach lvl 50. I think you cant even get expertise on any pvp bought items until lvl 32.

4) Remove inventory caps on WZ comms limits. Remove them completely and start rewarding your PvPers for doing what they love, not punishing them for it by deciding when they can buy something or not. If one wished to PvP from level 10 all the way up to 50, and save up for a half of the WH set right at 50 -- why not allow them? They put the time and the effort in and should be rewarded by being competitive when they reach 50. Reward your players and they will reward you. This. "You can play the game the way you want. Level the way you want."*- Bioware * - see screw you pvpers enjoy your level cap, commendation cap, items with incorrect stats on them for your class prior to 50 causing you to mod rip and throw the other mods on the ground, inability to purchase items that you could hold onto until you were lvl 50 or craft because you have the crafting level to do it, and a valor rank to cap your valor so that any valor you gain past your level is just LOST FOREVER so when you hit 50 you can get valor rank BLOCKED too from wearing any lvl 50 items. I only like playing pvp. My pt is lvl 39 now. I have already 4k kills on it and it gives me nothing. In lowbies regardless of my level, Im always top dps/heals/tank/medals because I'm skilled at the game. I have purchased like 4 sets of 5x enhancements to get me up to lvl 50 with pvp expertise. Thats 5 x 4 = 20 pieces x 900 comms each, which is 18,000 commendations. 18,000 / 3 = 6,000 ranked commendations. I could almost be sitting on my banked war hero head piece and war hero mainhand. I don't even want to get into the math for valor. But my lvl 50 that has 60 valor only has 2.5k kills (my lvl 39 has 4k). I only have 96 hours on this character. I could be playing lvl 50 pvp but I would have spent the 96 hours being smashed into the ground by geared no lifers. The system should be set for skill not for gear and fatty no liferness. Think more like runescape where you get a skill maxed out you get a cool emoticon or you play 2k pvp matches and you can wear a glowing halo around your character. That's all it should be. Emoticon stuff and clothes discoballs and what not just like social leveling is. So many kills you get something, so many mvp votes you get something, so many wins etc. The whole that guy who is in full gear that has no life who doesn't play as well as me but is still killing me 1 v 1 mechanics gets old real quick and makes the game not fun anymore.

You have both won and lost so you really tied.

Aim > Crit >Surge I believe My PT pvp guide.

If you added rapid shotz to your rotation you would be the dest buelist of all MMOS

You can also buy the social 2 armor for about 2k if you want a set of empty orange armor.

The armor rating number I believe is only on the actual armor plating mod itself and all the other mods don't matter. So in worse case scenario, throw an armor plating in and leave out the other mods if you dont have the cash. Social armor is adaptive and will scale to your characters armor class. So if you put it on you and youre a heavy it will be say 300 rating. But you put the same exact thing with the same armor mod in it on your squishy sorc comp they will have 125 rating.

I believe the best use of planetary comms is to buy the (12) or whatever orange armor pieces that have the most usable mods in them. If you need all 3 mods great spend the 12 and you get all 3. Then otherwise you should use them to buy single mods. Always take a mod upgrade from a quest reward over a +1 comm since mods cost 2-7. Dont forget you can rip out the mods and put them into something else. Social 2 armor costs about 2k for a full armor set or check the gtn for orange/purple armor.
