Is this a good buy for gaming (SWTOR)

I had posted the wrong link, now it is correct. It's a combo of a 500W power supply and the same video card.

Looks good, but the GTX 550 Ti is a budget card. I'd stretch to at least a GTX 560, or grab a GTX 560 if you can't afford that. Your ideal card would be a GTX 560 Ti.

I haven't played SWTOR, so I can't speak for its requirements.
 
Well on a budget would be an understatement, but just incase I want to put some funds into this little project from other sources, how much more would those other ones cost?
 
Well I mean, I don't want this to just be a waste and have to go get another one and throw this one in the trash but..I want to get it as soon as possible and I don't know where I could get 200-300..Hmm :/

Then again I'm not looking for the best card out there, I only want something that will increase my FPS from my integrated Intel graphics...

Would a 500w be able to handle a better graphics card if I ever decided to upgrade? Like the 560 TI?

Any decent quality 500w can run a 560ti, like this one:

I'd recommend you grab the PSU first and maybe a cheap budget card. I really don't know much about SWTOR, but I have a feeling you might be alright with a GTX 460:

But a GTX 560 will use less power: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130610

You can compare the 460 and 560 here: http://www.hwcompare.com/10987/geforce-gtx-460-vs-geforce-gtx-560/
 
i think the recomendation was a 460 or a 5870 or something like that, so a 6870 or 560 should max it or right there at it.
