Ok so I am looking to upgrade my PC for Star Wars: The Old Republic. I am using Game debate to help me figure out what I need to run it.

I am going to list the parts I plan on using:

CPU: AMD Phenom 9750

GPU: GTX 750 TI Black Edition

RAM: 8GB

PSU: 480 Wattage

Now to my question, it says that the GPU would be bottle necking with my CPU and it suggests for me to get the GTX 560 TI instead problem is that it's more expensive and I would require a new power supply for it. Will my PC be able to handle the game even though it has a bottleneck with the GTX 750 TI? I only plan to run the game on all low graphics to get max frame rate as I have no interest in graphic quality.
 
Even that cpu is a older am2 socket you may want to consider a faster cpu and board but if must use it I read even the NVidia cards in the 200 series was bottleneck from the cpu prob best to go with the older 560 but you may have to change the power supply .... Sure you could use the 750 but at much lower settings... it wouldn't be a balance system.
