Hey guys, one of my buddies wants a new computer now that he received Starcraft II and can't play it on his laptop. He wants to have an extremely affordable computer, that will last him a few years and will allow him to play Starcraft II extremely comfortably. I've tried to explain to him that there is a level between cost & quality, but unfortunately money is tight for everyone and I'm surprised I was able to get $750 out of the budget.
