    Sorry I'm not sure if this is the right spot but I'm looking for some help regarding this.

    I really want to get SC2 but i'm not sure my PC will be able to handle it (I'm worried about my graphics card)

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Here's my specs:

    Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit
    8GB RAM
    AMD Phenom 9650 Quad Core 2300mhz
    ATI Radeon HD3200

    Would SC2 work with these specs? On Low? Medium?

    Assuming you don't have a discrete graphics card installed and you're just using the HD3200 IGP, I'd say low (barely). You may be able to bump settings to medium but framerates are bound to suffer once you have a number of units on screen.

    So if I were to upgrade to a semi good card, everything else would be fine?

    Yep. The CPU could also use an upgrade but I reckon it's still okay. Lots of other people play SC2 on worse hardware.

    Awesome! Thanks for your help! Any recommended graphics card I should look into getting? I was probably going to get the ATI 5770.
