    We will not need the GIGA best machine to run this game. I am sure a 1.5 GHZ with 1 Go RAM is already far enough for this future game :)

    I accept with information: An 8800GT can get you medium/high in Crysis. StarCraft 2 will be no where near as demanding as Crysis. The only worry are the in-game cutscenes which won't be that intensive either.

    Use Newegg.com, I play WoW and my goal was to run at 100Fps in Dalaran ( for those who don't play WoW its the most crowded city)
    After tax and shipping was 487$ and some cents.
    No monitor of course but i already had one.

    I contacted blizzard, and the tech said i should be able to run on medium/good settings.
    If this card can run Crysis, it darn well can run SC2
    It also handles fully updated CoH pretty well.

    The GeForce 9200 runs SC2. Confirmed.
