Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
Nvidia GeForce 7300GT 512MB
Memory: 1.5GB
Resolution: 1280x1024

My guesstimated FPS in the beta on lowest settings: ~25

So for all you worrying about upgrading, stop. Any computer under 5 years old that doesn't have a cruddy on-board gfx chip will easily run SC2.

Confirming right now:

1366x768 native resolution (in game only offers 1360x768)
9600M GT DDR3
Intel Mobile Core2Duo P7350 @ 2x2.1Ghz
4GB DDR3

Runs at Ultra everything at around a stable 30fps.

Edit: God I love having a shitty resolution on my laptop.

CPU: Intel i7 920 @ 2.67GHz
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5870 (woo dx11)
RAM: 6GB @ 2000MHz
Monitor: 19" 1440x900 (shitty I know)

...my other components aren't really important. Though my mobo and PSU could support 5870 if I wanted to throw that in there, but that's irrelevant at the moment. So yeah, my system is far overkill for SCII. And pretty much any game running at 1440x900. Spent all my money on the desktop, neglected to get a good monitor >_>

nice rig

how do you feel about that CM 690? I'm trying to decide between it, the 690 II, and the HAF 922 in my next build D:

Just chiming in to say that my:

AMD Phenom II 945
4GB Gskill RAM
Radeon 5770
Windows 7 (64)

is a beast. I can run pretty much anything on max settings on 1440x900 without any problems what so ever. so if anyone is worried about anything, the 5770 is a very awesome budget card and probably even a lil overkill at this resolution. cheap build too.

I'm not very clever when it comes to system specs. Will I be able to play SC2 with this laptop?

OPERATING SYSTEM:WINDOWS 2.6.0.6001 (SP 1)
CPU TYPE:INTEL(R) CORE(TM)2 DUO CPU P7350 @ 2.00GHZ
CPU SPEED (GHZ):2.02
SYSTEM MEMORY (GB):2.996
GRAPHICS CARD MODEL:NVIDIA GEFORCE 9600M GT
GRAPHICS CARD DRIVER:NVD3DUM.DLL
DESKTOP RESOLUTION:1280X800
HARD DISK SIZE (GB):288.035

I was a bit nervous when they said minimum processing power is 2.2 Ghz, however I heard that core 2 duo means its actually more than 2.00ghz. Could somebody clarify?

Thanks.

MB: ASUS P5N-EM HDMI (mATX mobo in an ATX Lian-Li case)
CPU: Intel Celeron DC E1200 (overcranked to 2.67 GHz on stock cooler)
RAM: 3 GB DDR2-800 (all Corsair XMS2: 2 GBx1/1 GBx1)
GPU: HIS AMD HD3450 PCIe 256 MB DDR2 (the known weak spot; looking hard @ XFX HD5750 PCIe 1 GB GDDR5)
ODDs: Lite-ON LDW-411S (PATA) and Samsung SH-223B (SATA)
HDD: Maxtor DiamondMax 200 GB SATA (may replace with WD Caviar 750GP or Caviar Black 1 TB)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Surprisingly, I can view replays @ 1360x800 (all medium detail) despite the wimpy GPU. (Monitor is Acer's H233H.bmid)

Bad news, fellas

I'm planning to build a new computer and I would appreciate some help. So far i chose this:
CPU: i5 750
GPU: Sapphire HD 5850
RAM: 2x2GB DDRIII 1600MHz CL9 1,7V KINGSTON HyperX (i5 supports max 1333MHz, but 1600MHz just in case i choose to OC) (or would you recommend Corsair? OCZ maybe??)
OS: W7 Home 64b

Now I have question about HDD: I want some SATAII, capacity doesn't matter that much, 320GB is enough for me. Would you recommend WD or Seagate? I also heard some Samsung HDDs are good.
About MB: are there some big differences between individual brands? (ASUS, GigaByte, MSI?) Right now I think I will go with MSI P55-GD65, but I don't know much about motherboards.
And last thing - Case (and cooling) + PSU: this is part where I'm completly clueless. I'd guess some 550W PSU? Case - CoolerMaster Elite 334 seems good to me. I'm not sure if it won't need some additional fans?

Note: this is about PC building in general, not about being able to run SC2, but i post it here since there were too many [H] PC blogs lately.

You should be ready for SC2. The Core 2 Duo is more 'efficient' with its ghz than the older Pentium D processors, so you are actually getting more done in 2.0ghz with a C2D than with a Pentium D.

My gaming rig:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 Ghz @ 3.7 Ghz
Zalman Resorator XT Black
2x Asus 5870 1GB
Corsair Dominator 8Gb 1060Mhz @ 1100Mhz
Western Digital Caviar 750GB 7200RPM.
Western Digital Raptor 300GB 10000RPM
Win 7 ultimate 64bit
Asus P5Q Pro
Corsair HX 1000W
Antec Twelve hundred
Spent to much money on this thing.
A bit overkill but runs everything maxed out so sc2 shouldent be a prob.
Insert random quote here.

Watching Beta-Replays in faster-Speedmode with a better netbook!

CPU: AtomN270
GPU:GF9300 GS (256mb)
RAM:2GB
Resolution: 1920x1200/1080 or 1024x600!!!(10,2") Everything works

Asus N10 rocks^^!

Its all to minimum, and 200vs200 Fights drops frames to the bottom, but the average 20mins Games are fine to watch xD

Just about every drive on the market is a SATA II at the moment

Western Digital and Seagate are both very reputable companies at the moment. Western Digital's Caviar Blue and Caviar Black line are very reliable and decently fast, though they tend to be a bit more expensive than their Seagate counterparts. Seagate on the other hand, has the cheaper hard drives, which are also a little slower.

Samsung recently came out with their F3 Spinpoint line of Hard Drives that are actually probably some of the BEST hard drives on the market. They use 500GB platters so random access time is shorter (IE programs open faster), and have good read/write speeds. They are also fairly cheap, so I would recommend a F3 Spinpoint if you can find one. They come in 500GB and 1TB versions.

For a motherboard, my personal preference is ASUS, but MSI is just as good. That MSI board however, runs 2 PCIe X16 slots at x8 and x8 (when in crossfire/SLi). While that is great, it is also useless if you do not plan on adding a second graphics card. You can get a cheaper motherboard if you do not plan on crossfiring!

Case/PSU is actually fairly easy. My choice PSU brands are Corsair and Antec. A good Antec PSU with 650W comes at around $80 at newegg. For your build, a decent 500-550W would be perfect. There are also brands like Thermaltake and Cooler Master which also put out some decent PSUs. I would suggest going for a PSU that is 80+ Certified because they are more efficient with power even though they cost a bit more. As for Case, I prefer Cases that have at least two fans. The Elite 334 only has one 120mm fan at the back, but for much better airflow, it is better to have more fans that circulate more air so your computer runs cooler.

I know it probably won't run, but is there hope? Could I overclock my CPU or wtf? Not very experienced with that kind of stuff.
