Needing Help Understanding

[ghodges1708]

I need a computer to play Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 on. I just came across this comp http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=eeetop+asus&hl=en&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS457US457&prmd=imvns&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1600&bih=799&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=12915876906885375722&sa=X&ei=HVC_TqWxOonr0gGPjbXPBA&ved=0CIcBEPICMAI and tried to play a game of SC2 on it. It dropped to 4 FPS. SIGH

Been having alot of bad luck, just bought a laptop that doesn't support SC2 also. I haven't had internet access in a while so I wasn't able to research what I needed.....

Can you tell me if I can possibly upgrade the all in one computer to play SC2? If not can you please let me know a build that I can play SC2 on WITHOUT any lag or choppyness, it can even be on low settings. I don't want a powerhouse machine because I don't have the money.

I also have an OLD desktop, what can I replace in it?

Or can you link me to some lower priced desktops/laptops that can support SC2. Thanks.... Already lost over 500$ in terrible comps that don't do anything I need from them. I would hate to know that I coulda made one or bought something for around that price without this hassle.

I hate to break it to you, but a $500 home-built gaming computer will play starcraft 2 and diablo 3 just fine...

A Phenom x3/AM3 motherboard or i3-2100/H67 motherboard along with a GTX 480 or better would perform just fine. They're not the most graphically intensive games. If you want a complete build, let me know.
