I am going to be buying this as my first real gaming rig. I am buying it mainly to run SWTOR smoothly. Does anyone see any problems or bad decisions? I cant really spend any more money than I am which is just over 700.

Thanks.
Ben.

you want one of the corsair psus, but they aren't bright and require 700 even though a good 550-600w would have no problem with that system.

really building it yourself would get you some better parts for the same money.
