So my PC just PWNED StarCraft II 

Me and my buddy were curious as to how a 2-year old PC would fare with the latest game from Bliizzard. So we installed the game, cranked everything to Ultra, set it to 1920 x 1200 and run the game. I think we were achieving 50-55 FPS. Both of us were impressed, with me feeling quite proud.  Amazing what a pair of 8800GT OC could do, when combined with E8400 OC and Corsair's Dominator.

I am more of a C&C guy.

Originally I was going to go triple SLI, but so far dual SLI's been enough for every game I've played, Crysis included. E8400 is probably one of the best chip Intel produced in Core 2 era, with a huge potential to OC.  I am running stock fan with a full 24" tower.  Imagine what I could do had I gone liquid.

ya 8400 is still a keeper [s:201] but recently all our company computers upgraded to 8400, i was like...wtf?! that made my home computer kinda cheap...

Starcraft 2 isn't exactly an FPS game.....

Why settle for mediocre setting, when you could rip things in Ultra.  I am huge on looks when it comes to games, and cars, and women.

and babies

back in the days 8800 was over $300 dollars a pop.

ya 8400 sooner or later will be just suitable for office desktop comps [s:204]

that's all pointless if u're still using 7200 rpm to run your OS

ssd is just a bit pricy
