My laptop crapped out on me and it�s two years old and it was suggested I get a gaming desktop as I mentioned to the person I took it into to get looked at that I play swtor and they were familiar with the game, so I am looking into some cheap ones but not 100% sure if the ones I am linking here will work. I can�t spend a lot and have to wait until next month for when my Social Security check comes in so any input on these following would be greatly appreciated. List is cheapest to highest I am willing to go: http://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-Slimlin...x4-GB/56208106 http://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-6200-SF...W-W7P/49122967 http://www.walmart.com/ip/CybertronP...untu/739787427 http://www.walmart.com/ip/CYBERPOWER...luded/55349089

Five hundred dollars will NOT get you a gaming desktop. It will get you a machine that calls itself a gaming desktop, but it won't be one.(1) Bear in mind also that none of those have a monitor / screen, so if you don't have one, you'll have to budget for that as well. In general, dig into the system specs and look for "Intel Integrated Graphics" as a reason NOT to buy a machine. Of those on your list, I'd go for the last one as a serviceable machine that will run SWTOR, but I wouldn't count on it being able to handle Ultra. (1) Hard-core gaming machines cost way far more than $500. My latest machine replaced one that was nearly seven years old, and budgetary fun meant I could afford(2) to drop three thousand euros on it. It is NOT a fully-serious gaming rig, but it's close. Someone posting on these forums had managed to spend 25K dollars on a machine. (2) That is, I could spend that money without noticing that it was gone because it was "free" money from a �5K lottery win.

Try a refurbished Dell. They come with a 1 warranty that you can extend if you like. http://outlet.us.dell.com/ArbOnlineS...pax5M6OnPCfkHm The card in that will play swtor quite nicely, and it'll look cool on either a desk, or in the livingroom next to a television.
That which does not kill you merely postpones the inevitable.

Thanks guys. I actually ended up buying this one: https://www.walmart.com/ip/CYBERPOWE...luded/55349089 I just got it today and would recommend it definitly for any serious gamers out there because it runs swtor just fine in ultra I am literally at awe with it cause the game runs so smoothly loads are really quick, etc. definitly was worth buying.
