    Well I finally found a reason to upgrade my computer. I've always wanted to.. But it's a need now. And I'm curious what specs would I need for my computer for it to run this game on above average/perfect graphics?

    I love the idea of WoW, but now that it's Star Wars.. Omg

    You'll want to have a dual-core 2.0+ CPU, and 4 GB RAM with a Nvidia GT 520 or greater graphics card in order to run this game at acceptable levels. With this setup, you'll run 20-30 FPS regularly, with lower frames in high-traffic areas.

    If you plan to be a PVP player, kick this up a bit in the graphics card department, as the dedicated PVP world "Ilum" can get crowded with users and their flashy skills, making lag prominent. A GTX 550 graphics card should see considerable improvement over the mentioned GT 520 card, though you can find complete laptop PCs with the 520 or greater for under $500.

    So I'm assuming upgrading my deskyop would be cheaper? It's pretty easy right? You just open it up take it out and put it in..

    I was running a duo-core before with a 260 GTX, wasn't a great duo core but it wasn't a terrible one... trust me you want an up to date i3-i5 core, they are some that aren't so expensive. I actually upgraded my computer fully, a little bit low end-mid upgrade around $700-$800 dollars and it ran SWTOR perfectly fine with around 60 FPS with everything turned up.

    The things you'll want for sure are a new CPU (usually need a new mobo too if yours is outdated), GPU, some more RAM, power supply (depends on what you have now).

    It would be more convenient and cheaper to upgrade a desktop as well.
