1.What OS are you running? Win xp needs 1GB memory, win 7 needs 2GB memory. Your current set up would get crushed under the pressure of win7 or vista and SW:TOR imo.
2. RAM: runs at the speed of the slowest stick you have installed. If you mix matched RAM, this is something to look at.
3. Hard drive: I know the 1TB is a nice drive and all but, a smaller drive is faster. But this may be the least of your issues.
4. Drivers: make sure your drivers are up to date. I have fallen prey to this myself.
5. MOBO: make sure you get a vid card that your mobo supports.
6. Donations: I have a rig here that has the same mobo but a P4 processor in it. I will go through it again to see what is salvagable from it. Not making any promises though, this rig had a voltage spike go through it and cook hardware pretty hard.
