Why do you want a quadcore? The whole point of those builds is to have the parts be in harmony, not to overkill the CPU.

Not to mention that a 6770 would be far more intelligent than a GTS450 for that price.

Of course you can go for a 500gb HDD for every build and get a worse PSU if you want.

The 400$ build plays SC2 better than your 500$ build and btw that build cant play SC2 on ultra at 60+ fps dont lie.

60+ FPS at what 800v800 battles? my GeForce 9800 GTX plays SC2 on ultra at 60 FPS (Albeit 1v1) with no problems and its old gen tech. people don't need overkill GPU cards. Quad-Core > Dual-Core especially since the I3 2100 and the I5-2300 Don't support Hyper-threading.

i3 has hyperthreading.

A GPU has little to nothing to do with large scale battles in SC2.

Yeah... but you don't need overkill CPUs either. also i3 2100 supports hyperthreading and if you want to just play SC2 you can just go for the 300$ or 400$ build as I said

Also I kinda doubt your 9800 GTX can run it that well

will the $1750 build allow me to stream 1080p + sc2 at extreme w/ over 100 fps at all times?
*edit, will it be able to do all this with 3 screen displays?

Okay. Go build a core i7 990x configuration with CrossfireX 6990s and come back with the results.

A core i7 3930k CrossfireX 6990 configuration? You're going to have to be more specific as to your budget...

the 663 dollar build runs SC2 as fast as it goes, I think I stated that.

As an alternative you could try buying this PC:

I would like have to have a setup that can do this, if possible. What in my budget ($2-$7k) will get me closest to this result?

will you be running eyefinity 5760x1080 or just 1920x1080 for the SC2 and 2 monitors for other things?

With $7000, you should easily be able to afford a core i7 3960x.

Honestly I still think a computer with 4 seperate Xeons would fit better for that budget.

Maybe buy a setup that can run sc2 on extreme maintaining 100 + fps and have a 2nd comp with a i5 2500k overclocked that can run the stream?
