2 GB PC2-6400 500 GB 3.0 SATA ATi 2600XT. A real middle-of-the-road system. I expect to be able to run on all high settings with full ASF except no AA @ 1440x900 (native res). I don't agree with the OP regarding the hard drive requirements. The maps are pre-loaded into RAM so hard drive access time is moot. I am planning on upgrading to an i7 using eBay/Amazon. I built my current system off there for $250 about 2 years ago. | ||

6 gigs of ram 8800GTS Spot the one that's out of place.  I took parts from my old computer (HDD, optical drive, video card) so that's why. | ||

From my experiences with playing BW on a 24" widescreen, I believe it's actually better to have a somewhat smaller screen. 19" standard would probably be perfect. The reason why I say this is because I used to run BW in full screen on this screen, and the minimap/resources were so far away it was out of my peripheral vision. | ||

Should be ez. I don't understand why so many people like the 4850 - it just doesn't seem cost effective considering it isn't that much under the 4870 or gtx260 according to www.newegg.com 4850=$119.99 4870=$149.99 2gb 4870 (therefore theoretically superior to xfire 4850 =$199.99 So i don't see why you would buy the 4850. | ||

Nexus, what the heck, might as well as use a 975 at that point. A drop in the bucket when we consider the tag of the whole thing. | ||

Save your money: Use fans. Liquid cooling is more prone to problems, is almost always just as loud as fans, and, well... costs more money. | ||

I know that assembling your own computer saves a lot of $$$, but for someone like me who doesn't have a clue about assembly (and I don't really want to learn atm) are there any suggestions to any good deals on pre-built computers that will run SC2 well? I live in Toronto and I've heard good things about Canada Computers and tigerdirect. | ||

I don't think i've ever seen someone misspell so many things that are that simple to spell. However yes you should be fine to run SC2.

Sounds great. 9800M= very good for a laptop. Expect no trouble playing SC2 or Diablo 3, but maxed settings may be beyond your reach depending on whether or not they include AA. | ||
