ALRIGHT,
So I got into swtor but blablbla I'm running on like 7fps tops, it's phucking disturbing.
Basically I need a new Graphics card. The recommended ones on various sites I looked at say to get Geforce 7900 GTX/GTX 465/GTX260 or better.
I think my current motherboard is a stock one, just says Packard Bell BV (PBGL00). Do you think this could handle any of the above cards? or would I need to upgrade that aswell, and to what?
Also, would I need to upgrade anything else if I upgrade the motherboard?
Srs 100% computer newb here, halp!

considering the msrp for the 7970 is $700 (lulz) i wouldn't expect too much of a price drop
