hello im just looking for the cheapest possible route without the system being complete crap, it will mostly be used for starcraft and minecraft. right now mITX looks nice for this but unsure about some of the ITX parts. im lookig to be able to play starcraft 2 at medium settings at 1080p or play intense custom games on low at 60 frames per second. and i would also like to max out minecraft (no brainier).
right now the parts i am looking at are

i can supply a hard drive, os, cd drive and anything else that is needed. if anyone knwos how this will handle my needs please share and give suggestions for builds of similar prices. also if you have any atx/micro atx suggestions i have an extra power supply laying around and a micro atx case (these are from an oem computer but i know they are sufficient) since starcraft only handles 2 threads i figured i didn't really need an i3 for 4 threads or i5 for 4 cores. and im asuming it should handle minecraft just fine and this gpu does seem sufficient but if needed i can bump up to the lp radeon 7750 card. i had a radeon 6450 in an older build and handled starcraft pretty fine on low so im asuming the 480 stream processors should be just fine. btw this is for my brother who is on a tight budget which is why im not looking for an i5 overclocked at 4.4 and a radeon 7870 like i have in my main build he really only plays those two games and browses the web
