Upgrading Inspiron 580 for SWtor

[Ben_whatmough_26]

I have a Inspiron 580 that has done me well, But now that i've got myself SWtoR its somewhat lacking, Even on low its slow, Really slow.

So my question is, What parts should i upgade first and if poss what too?

Current spec:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.7GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Card name: ATI Radeon HD 5450

Not sure what else you would need to know, Just ask.

Thanks in advance

I can already tell you it's the video card, the 5450 is mainly for <2005 titles on medium settings. I can also tell you that the PSU in the tower will not run an upgraded video card without dying a painful death (that may also kill other parts). So the real question is, what's your upgrade budget?

Pref under £300. can go more if its needed, but cheaper the better

That should be enough of a budget to upgrade both.

GPU: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1gb-...gpu-900mhz-shader-1800mhz-384-cores-plus-2-mo

That should all be within budget.

Cool. You might want so save yourself some time now by going to the nvidia site and downloading the latest drivers. I don't use the ones that come with the CD, ever. They're often quite outdated.
