<$600 build

Is it possible to build a computer that can run SWTOR at medium settings 40 fps? If so, please tell me. Windows 7 must be part of the price.

That psu won't do for a 7870 ghz edtion, you don't pair a 200$ cpu with a ultra crappy mobo biostar h61, nor you choose 1 stick of memory 1333 mhz instead of 2x4gb 1600mhz(i know that crappy mobo doesn't support it) and it needs the windows 7 OS(that's what he said).

The PSU is absolutely fine for the GPU. That mobo isn't ultra-crappy, it's perfectly fine. 1 8GB stick leaves room for upgrading to 16GB. There is also nothing wrong with having 1 stick of 8GB.
