what do you guys think of this comp setup to play starcraft 2?

[nissan240]

okay so starcraft 2 is coming out pretty soon and was wondering if my computer setup is more than enough to play star craft 2? my computer is blazing fast as is already but just wondering if i would need a better video card, memory etc. here's a basic list of what i have

Intel Core i7 960 3.2GHz (Quad Core) 8000K processor
Coolermaster Hyper 212, 4 Copper Heat Pipes, Extra Quiet CPU fan
MSI X58M, DDR3, SLI & Cross Fire motherboard
6GB (3x2GB) PC3 10600 DDR3 1333 Triple Channel memory
GeForce GTS 250 1GB PCI EXpress 16X dual head video card
1000.0GB Hitachi 7200RPM SATA2 hard drive
Logisys 600W ATX Power Supply, SLI & X-fire ready

perfect.

Sidenote, I really hate how computer games nowadays REQUIRE really high-end graphics to sell.

Fuck storylines, lets spam out LENS FLARES AND HI RES EVERYTHING!

More than enough. You're set.

I'm playing the beta with 1/2 that and its OK. Upgrading tonight so I'll be set.

The chip is nice.
You should be set for awhile.
Have the 920 & its more than sufficient for general gaming imo.

i swear u posted that up to showoff your specs. you would be well aware that those specs are overkill

haha no i actually didnt. i really wanted to know just to be sure cause starcraft 2 looks insane. especially playing online with millions of players, you can never be to sure.

Luckily, you won't be playing with all those players at the same time. The game can run on far lower settings, you just won't get the same eye candy.

If this is stuff you plan on buying to build a computer, then the list looks fine.

But, if you've already bought everything on your list, then you should be damn well aware of what that equipment is capable of.

It's like asking Hey guys, is my Bugatti Veyron fast enough to cruise legal high way speeds or should I opt for a bigger turbo? You're either bragging or literally have no idea what it is you have in your hands.

If it wasn't obvious enough. Yeah man, it'll run SC2 just fine.

[sephiroth99]

replace your 960 by a 930, and get a better gpu

anyway, it's overkill for sc2 for sure

edit: if you didn't bought it yet :S

[ronmcdon]

i dont think it's bragging.
hd & vid card seem pretty budget.
no mention of sound card, etc.

it's a decent setup, but nothing outrageous.
(i.e. 500gig SSD raid 0, 5970 crossfire).

lol, we SHOULD have a pc build braggart thread!

My computer is twin turbo'd, you?
