[Matt_F]

I want to play Starcraft 2 on Ultra will this system do that.

Only component I do not need is a monitor I am planning on using My Vizio HDTV as a monitor. WILL THIS WORK? and what do i need to make it work?

Will All these components be compatible? Will they be powerful enough to run SC2 on ultra settings. Are there any other parts i will need? any suggestions on different parts? Sorry I am a first time builder and don't know a ton about all of this THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!

Good job. it's pretty good. Not sure if it's able to run SC2 on ultra but I know it can run any games at high.

What changes would you make to make this build run SC2 on ultra any?

An i5-2500k. SC2 is pretty CPU intensive.

An i5-2500k. SC2 is pretty CPU intensive.

That's what I thought you'd say the i5 pushes it a little out of my price range. How big of an improvement do you think I would see with th i5? Is the $100 worth it if I kept basically the same build?

It's a very big improvement but a quick google search reveals that a Phenom II x 965 can play SC2 at ultra. Good luck.
