I would recommend dell or hp and just run it through some configs. or better yet wait for dell to do their bi weekly deals and get a quad core system with monitor at like 500. then spend however much on an ati 4870 graphics card. install it and be ready for some crazy speed.

bam both worlds happy now. you won't have to really build your own system but you can make you diy ppl happy with an graphic card install

While the processor is important, graphics card is perhaps equally important. Pay attention to it and don't skimp out too much.... especially if you plan on playing SC2.

I would definitely recommend building your own. It's not too bad, and you can get a slightly better build for $750 than if you were to purchase directly from HP or Dell. Otherwise, shop around and try out different configurations. A Dell Studio XPS machine isn't bad at all (nice quad core i7 processor in there) and the base configuration is $749.

Anyone know any good links for purchasing labtops, I've been looking at newegg's top sellers, hp, dell etc.

It will usually stay at my office at home, but I'm looking for a durable model to carry around from time to time. I will be using it for both work & gaming... any suggestions??

Ghermination gave me a list of newegg.com products to purchase.

Without much thought I did it, and don't regret it one bit. Took me a while to put it together. My father did most of the work, he loves doing projects. This guy doesn't know ANYTHING about computers but he managed to put it together in two days. He is the type of person that freaks out when he sees Firefox and insists he uses the "real internet" (referring to Internet Explorer).

Well I'm online and writing this post with one sick looking computer. So far so good. Thanks guys <3

Glad to hear it went well. Was gonna suggest you get a friend or someone to build it for you if you were really freaking out about it.

That's good to hear.
I had trouble getting my computer to start. I went over to my friend's house and after like 20 minutes, he finally figured out that the RAM was in the wrong place.
Apparently it was 0213 instead of 0123 like I thought it was =/
