Upgrading since my old pc could barely run it.

AMD Phenom 2 quad core @ 3 ghz
4 gigs ram
Geforce 8800 GTS 328 mb

I had only a dual core processor but the same GPU before I upgraded and I managed it on all high on my 1080p monitor. Honestly, I'd buy a slightly worse CPU and spring for a better GPU. That particular GPU isn't the greatest, it has very low ram on it. But based on just your question I'd say probably all on high with decent fps.

Im buying the computer all new, but the 8800 im reusing from my old computer.

I dont play too many games on my computer so I dont want to spend more than I need to.

It should do fine, probably will have to keep AA at x2. I would keep the CPU because that thing is very good and should last you a long time. I would look into a new GPU, but it isn't necessary. What speed is the RAM, DDR3?

Yessir ddr3

I just didnt wanna rush upgrading the GPU since I dont need it atm. The only games I play now are this and Starcraft 2. If Diablo 3 will require a new GPU when it comes out, il upgrade then. If i do it that way, there will be better and cheaper ones out anyway

Side question: How will that computer do with starcraft 2? All high as well?

I don't know of the settings in Starcraft 2, when was it released?

Should be all good with the 8800 with SC2.
I think thats the reccomended card.
