This system is basically for playing SWTOR for now. But want to leave my opinions open for other uses i might need for it. Also would like to make this a system to last and able to upgrade. Thanks ahead for any feedback

I would suggest a better cpu cooler, cooler master are not making the best cpu cooler ( overall ofc ) and I would suggest a gigabyte or asus mobo

after you dont need a 680 gtx to play mmo (overall) you can max it at really less than that , even a 560 non ti would be able

nothing wrong with that cooler. i have the "212 plus" in my system and it's awesome. never seen the temps go over 42c on my i7.
