e8400 3.0 GHz
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.

I7
6 gigs of ram

Spot the one that's out of place.

I took parts from my old computer (HDD, optical drive, video card) so that's why.
I don't have mono anymore. Woooo!

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.

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.

From what I have read of the 2gb 4870, the improvement is marginal at best and hardly worth the price increase. To be honest, if I wanted to go on a strict budget that a 4850 suggests, I'd use a 4770.

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.

To be honest, Ecael, I should just buy a Tesla Personal Supercomputer. It's not much more for an amazing increase in performance.

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.

It actually has nothing to do with Starcraft 2 because I know it'll run it, but I ordered the following system:

2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB in RAID0 for OS/Programs/Games
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 750GB for Data
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (C1), 4x 2.83GHz
Corsair XMS3 DIMM Kit 4GB (DDR3-1333)
Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon HD 4870, 1024MB GDDR5
Powerded by a Corsair TX 650W ATX 2.2
in a sound dampened NZXT HU-001-B case

Hope it'll last for 4-5 years with only minor upgrades like a graphics card or more RAM.

Sorry if i'm going off topic:

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.

dude what? how is a 2gb 4870 theoretically superior to xfire 4850??

you can find 4850s on sale now for less than $100.
the world's a playground. you know that when you're a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it.

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.
