If you're getting a higher end graphics card for SC2, then it's more than likely that you'll be getting a graphics card with two monitor outputs, so that shouldn't be a problem.

meeple - that studio desktop PC you recommended looks pretty good, so if it can be confirmed that it can run 2 monitors thats probably what i'll get
Don't get it. What part of don't buy a Dell did you not get? Getting a quad core with a shitty video card is only going to cause you lots of rage, probably making you into a console tard :/

Newegg has this i5 bundle, which you may be worth a look. Nice memory, huge hard disk (not the fastest but at 1.5T can't complain)... just add a decent video card and you'll be all set. you can even but win7 and stay within your $700 budget.

yeah i'm going to go with everyone else and say build your own comp. it seems kind of intimidating at first but really it isn't that hard. just read up on some guides on the internet, there are tons of them. it's also pretty entertaining and you get a good feeling of accomplishment when it runs correctly. then you can say you build your own computer and everyone that hasn't done it before is like "omg u are genius"

Something Rekrul would buy.
And please do not get a Dell. They have horrible customer service, as well as terrible reliability (personal experience). The computer usually starts to have problems after ~6 months. I would suggest building your own computer(like many have suggested) and maybe get a friend who knows put it together do it for you. And pay him like 10$ or something. Totally worth it.
