Yes I have a monitor.
And possibly. I used to be good at Sc2 and just miss playing it. My computer I used was mom's and it no longer is alive lol.

Stout-
is there truth to this article: LINK

It says the 5850 graphics card is just as good (suggests it runs better) compared to the newer ones.

Truth? No? Did I read it wrong?

At the same clock speeds. The newer cards have higher clock speeds at stock though so at stock they will outperform it and you still have room to OC them more beyond that. See the link for example.

In your link it looks like on games like Batman it was way behind the 6850 and 7850.

$450 for that PC doesn't seem too bad if you just want something fast and you can upgrade the GPU later.

It is better than the iBuyPower crap you are going to find at WalMart or BestBuy prebuilt.

Still not sure about the demands of Starcraft though.

I would wait and see if ILikeLSUToo responds. He is pretty good with Intel builds.
