I apologize in advanced if this is the wrong forums for this, but I did not see any Tech forums.

 

Here is the PC I have purchased and should be here sometime early January...

So, will I be able to play at max settings?

I imagine you'll be able to run the game at high setting without issue.

that website can tell u if the game works on pc

The hardware will play the game fine, but with only a 60 GB hard drive, you will be hurting for space soon. Hopefully you plan on installing an additional drive for storage.

You purchased a really really bad video card with that deal and got an outdated first series i7 cpu. The video card you purchased will be no greater than standard on board graphics. I don't think you'll be particularly happy with your performance in game.

Looks good other then the Hard Drive. You have only a 60 gig drive selected, and SWTOR alone takes 20, not even taking into account the operating system.

 

Otherwise it should play everything at highest settings.

The video card you purchased will be no greater than standard on board graphics.

 

Ummmm, no.

 

Not sure what you are talking about in regards to the graphics card. Have the exact same one and I can run everything at high settings, get 100+ fps.

 

Also works wonders on other games (MW, BF, Batman Ark, etc...).

 

Have never had a problem with it not running anything at high settings, completely satisfied with it.

This! My windows 7 install is 30gb. The client install for SWTOR is 18.5GB. Not a whole lot of space for anything else.

Ummmm, no.

Sorry but that is just not true. He got a 520. That is standard on board graphcis. To run BF3 at 100+ FPS like you claim you'd need at minimum a 460 gtx (and I don't even think you could be running 100+ at medium with a 1080p setting like the OP got based on his monitor), to run it on anything other than medium at 100+ FPS you go into the category of SLI 560ti's or a 570 or a 580.

 

As others have said his operating system is going to take at least 28 gigs and that's if he knows how to prioritize his system dumps otherwise that will keep growing to be 60 gigs plus. The game itself is another 20+ gigs. Add in any form of media, random programs, browsers, etc. and the HD will be full within an hour of use.

According to the specs listed above he got

 

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB 16X PCIe Video Card

 

That should certainly be sufficient for anything TOR could throw at it. Mind you the HD still sucks, and will soon render the machine unusable.

The link shows that he got this : Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 1GB 16X PCIe Video Card (Major Brand Powered by NVIDIA) and that upgrading to what you said would have been another 156 dollars.

 

So I don't know which is right. The link and the specs he copy pasted are different. I was going off of the link because the formatting of the copy paste was rough on the eyes. If he actually did get a 560ti then yes you are correct. Still sad to see that if he did that he would have spent over 1100 USD. Making a similar system costs around 800 dollars right now and that would be with an upgraded motherboard and CPU to a 2500k :/

Edited December 16, 2011 by Repans

Ah, I didn't follow the link, just went on the stats listed above.

 

So yes, if he got the 520, it's stinky, if he got the 560 he's good. Depends on which data is correct.

Edited December 16, 2011 by split_light

I got the 560 guys. The Overclocked version as well.

 

 

Yeesh.

 

 

But yes...Im immediately wishing I got an extra HD.

 

Having said that, I've got a 600gig HD gaming rig (few years old) which will be sitting right next to this one.

 

So I'll be ok....for now. But yeah, def shoulda got one.

You are probably right, Im not terribly knowledgable on creating PCs, and Im sure I overpayed.

 

I am getting a nice monitor/speakers/mouse/keyboard though, as well as a custom tower.

 

Worth the upcharge? Probably not. At least I know it'll be created right though.

So...now that I've cleared up the Graphics card debate (Its an overclocked 560) - how well will it run SWTOR?
