I'm curious. BW was such an undemanding game, has SC2 changed things? Will we see SC themed watercooled build logs popping up soon on TL.net?

My computer sucks ass so I can't play SC2.

I'm interested only because I want to start grabbing PC parts when I have the chance to start building a system that can support SC2.

BW comes first though. ^^

Sc2 doesn't really even require too much. Almost anything core2duo and better + a low/mid ranged gpu can run it.

I'm obsessed with graphics always being on the highest setting, even if if makes my computer lag a little.. It makes me sad the pros play with the graphics down

^^ that's the only time I ever follow the current technology/hardware trend. As soon as I purchase my new desktop/laptop I stop paying attention. Honestly I used to be obsessed with "keeping up with the hardware" but its really too much effort to do so. I feel like new generation of video cards and processor spew out so fast that it's nearly impossible to keep up (not to mention their weird model numbers).

I voted that I take a strong interest. Ever since I first put a new GPU in my old HP desktop when I was in 6th grade I've been obsessed with trying to get the latest and greatest. (Budget permitting)

In a perfect world I would consider myself an enthusiast, but I don't have the money for it. And I don't want to spend my paycheck on just my computer anyways.

I try to keep at the top of mid-range the best I can.

I personally don't have the money to make a major gaming computer but I help my friend who does. He doesn't know a lot about computers but he is major into gaming and he plays pretty much everything to ever come out on the PC. He has the top everything. I think when it comes to how good your computer is, it depends on the money you have and what you are playing. I've seen sc2 play on a lap top (lowest settings it could go and crawled a little) but it still played enough. *shrug* Like I said, just your preference I guess?

And you need a good graphics card. Pretty much anything that isn't intel will run it, but there are lots of computers with intel graphics because its so much cheaper

Surprisingly few "I don't care as long as it works" votes so far, i must say.
