I'm going to buy a new desktop to play Star Wars: The Old Republic. The game's release date hasn't been scheduled yet, neither has the Beta testing. I've already brought this up in the forums at the official website and I got a lot of different answers. What do you guys think? Which one would you get? Which one do you think would run Star Wars: The Old Republic better? http://www.amazon.com/Titanium-Gamer-Quad-Core-processor-Microsoft/dp/tech-data/B003IQAVIY/ref=de_a_smtd or http://www.amazon.com/CyberpowerPC-Desktop-Athlon-2-9GHz-Socket/dp/B0036Z4MG4/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1
Do you need an operating system? What operating system do you have, now?

I want Windows 7 to come with it. Right now I have Windows XP running on an old Acer laptop. I want the whole package deal in my new desktop. Peripheals and monitor included would be nice but not required. I just want a good working desktop for less than 600 dollars.
*puke* Stay away from that at all costs if you plan on gaming. The GPU is crap for most games
That's funny considering it's right next to the computer you recommended on the same site. So what's it gonna be? Speaking of which here's one from Buy.com. http://www.buy.com/prod/cyberpower-gua103se-mid-tower-desktop-pc-amd-athlon-ii-x4-640-3-0ghz/q/loc/111/217656387.html

The one you found on Buy.com is pretty much the same as the first two you linked and not recommended.
EDIT: Hold on a second. I'm missing the hard drive. I'll be back.

Holy crap! Thanks man. That's amazing.
Recheck that post. I added the hard drive to it, which brings the total to $697.87. If that's too much , I can switch the CPU for an Athlon X4. That would shave off a few bucks.

That really helps a lot. Yeah. It's kind of more than what I want to spend but an Athlon X4 will work as good. Thanks again.
OP this is wat u should do. u should wait for the old republic to come out and intill then learn how to build a pc looking up guides. Come up with a build of what u think u would want on ur comp then post ur build for ppl here to critique and judge. technology is only goin to get better and cheaper as u wait so u should hold off buying as much as possible if u can. if u want to build it now i dsuggest making a new thread to ask help on making a build that u can put together. also give us a price in that thread

Hate to break it to ya but I didn't say ALL seagates were prone to failing ;)
:p but you did say more than likely to have problems though. ;)
hate to break it to you but I had 4 seagate drives fail for 4 different people I know that got them despite me telling them not to get them for that very reason.

yes but no all of them fail if that were the case mine would have been in the trash already...but no its still going strong and if it does fail then that gives me the opportunity to upgrade my hdd and do a fresh install on my 64gb kingston ssd :roll:

The only drives that fail more often are the deathstars, so named because they die constantly.
