    Re: Looking to upgrade mobo, CPU and RAM.

    I'm stewing over similar build myself, I found this guide for SWTOR desktop performance.

    If anything it's just added more for me to think about personally. Maybe drop to a i3 2100, save a few quid and spend a little extra on better graphics card.

    Z68 can....it also has an extra interface to connect an SSD to which will cache the HDDs connected to the normal SATA ports.
    Thanks for this. Looks like it might be worth the extra £20 for the Z68.

    I have a fairly decent modular Enermax PSU. 550W I believe. Sorry I can't be more specific.

    Cheers for the link. Will have a read now as SWTOR is probably the game I will be playing most.
