What the hell is your sleep schedule like Karak? I find it hilarious that you are hitting me up on skype at 5:30 am.

Game makers cannot build games that require $2k rigs to run on because very few people have them.

I'm seeing people put together computers that can ONLY serve the purpose of running 6 instances of Crysis 2 at a time, or doing ultra high-end CAD and animation work without breaking a sweat.

Jack, that computer as it stands will get you well into 2014 and beyond. Don't waste money.

Edit: At least wait until the 570's are $80 instead of $350

Yeah, it's why I splurged. I'm not going dual or tri anything. I just bought a good mobo is all. I allllllmmooooooossstttt got the i7 970 but it's 1k alone

the 2500/2600 and k variants are amazing and will beat the 970 out performance wise

the 2500k is like <$300 so you crazy.

In fact, if you switch benchmark page to sc2, the 2500k outperforms the 2600k

1TB Serial ATA-II HD
4GB DDR3-1333
700W PSU

I can stream in hd. I also have 5 mbps upload which is a huge reason why. But I can stream with no performance issues. I think you should find out your upload speed though, it's going to be very important.

I can run ultra at about 35-40 fps. Not perfect, but playable. I wouldn't try to play/stream on ultra. I always play low just as matter of preference.

I'd look on amazon just for the hell of it because as a student there's free Amazon Prime and you can avoid paying sales tax. Tax+shipping on a new computer can run hundreds.

Lastly if it's anything like mine the fans are pretty damn loud. Something to consider if you don't have your own room or whatever.

I'm running

Intel Quad Core i7 CPU 2.67 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 896MB
1.5 TB Barracuda 7200 HD
6 GB DDR3-? RAM

I get 100+ FPS at the start, 70-80ish during most of the game, and it can drop down to 35 during max army battles. On ultra obv. Worth noting that my resolution is only 1600x900.

some guy just whined about T being OP and that my 4 unit push early (bout 5:30 mark) is "cheese" and he insisted that "it's cheese unless you kill probes"... wtf.

Also terran is overpowered, etc, etc

@Karak

If you're in school, some schools have a deal with Microsoft for students to get win7 for cheap, like $30. You just need to have a .edu email and have your school on the "list".

I know when I was in school I could get basically any software I wanted for free. So it's worth looking into at least.

I'm only silver (should be gold soon), but it's the easiest matchup for me as well. So many of them can't handle muta harass or they build a ridiculous amount of turrets and I can just grab a couple more expos. Too many of them build stupid units like vikings, banshees or try to drop me when they know I have mutas and not enough of them use siege tanks.

Someone should really start a site that sells replays. You could compensate masters level players for sharing their ladder replays and then give access to them for a monthly fee or sell them in packs or something. I'm sick of how everything is on streams or youtube commentaries, because I like directing the camera and studying builds in as much detail as I want.

Thanks, I've had frustrations with some of these replay sites, but that one looks very good. I must have overlooked it somehow.

star2.org is really good. They even label the masters and the pro level replays separately so you can distinguish quickly.
