More about : 650 750 gaming build
I highly doubt that any build under $1000 can run SCII on Ultra. Sorry. But you'll probably do fine on med-high.
I would wait for the new bulldozer AMD processors to arrive later this month, as they're about $50-$75 more and 3-4x as good.
Once you get some extra cash, buy another 6850 and run them together. Then, with the bulldozer, you'll probably be able to run Ultra.

For gaming and surfing the web, here's a better CPU for a cheaper price:
A few amd quads
On top of that, since your in Canada, check this deal out. I've got one of these on the way right now:
$169.99 GTX 560

A couple of things... First like some other people have said, your better off waiting for bulldozer for many reasons. I wont relist them. Secondly I don't believe your ram is NOT supported by your mobo, however that doesn't mean it wont work, and in all likelihood it probably still will, however just something to be careful about.
Also I have a i7 860 and a Nvidia GTX 275 with 4 gigs of ram and SC2 runs just fine at full settings so I cant imagine yours wouldn't do the same. However I could be missing something
