    Hey guys could I grab some quick feedback on this build. Wondering if it will run SC2 on Ultra, and also if there are any visible issues I Will run into. Also I need some advice on the casing.

    http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147145 - either this or the antec 300

    Again I appreciate any feedback. I feel like its a decent build, but am not the most knowledgable on the topic so just want a couple nods from people who know what the deal is. Thanks.

    It look pretty solid to me. It probably can run sc 2 on ultra.

    just a piece of advice at GPU.. 256bit DDR3 will be better than 128bit DDR5

    I have a 5770 1gb PowerColor and it runs the game amazingly. I think I got the card for $120 CAD

    memory in a video card isn't nearly as important as the GPU itself, anyways.

    there is an edit button, you know.

    5770 is definitely faster than the GTS250. the memory speed/bandwidth really doesn't matter unless you're cranking the resolution way up (1920x1200 and above) along with maxed out textures. for medium resolution screens, the processing power is what's important.
