* Play starcraft2 on full settings and it must not computer lag at any point, even 4 player maps full battles.
* Not to go super slow when i am streaming myself playing starcraft2 or fraping wow right now i can't stream and I always have to play starcraft2 at low settings.

also to match brand names, is it worth replacing the current motherboard with like
Asus P8Z68 DELUXE Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard [90-MIBGE0-G0EAY00Z]
or some other kinda of asus

well , i am trying work out if i should go with a 850w psu or if the 650 will be enough since the 650 will save me money, but end of day i dont want to have to replace it 6months later :)

and with the os, should i just go for homestart? not going for Ultimate just seems like i would be missing something to make my computer uber :)

tbh i havent looked into going duel cards

because i am mostly playing starcraft 2, and if 2 graphic cards are better for live streaming then i will change, i have been a nivida fan boy for a while, again i will change to ati If its going to help me better.

I was a amd fan boy for like 15 year sor something and only now changing to intel :) so whatever seems best
 
ok big update and overhall based on information and what i feel. still unsure about the graphics card just yet, and again thank you VERY much for feedback and views, I am trusting ur comments.

I have also changed the memory back to what was recommanded to me before

as we talking about sli, sc2 just had a patch
SLI performance has been improved.
hehe

so i guess i should look at that, but buying 2 older cards, wont that mean i would lose out on better looking graphics over speed?

tbh on a game like sc2 speed > graphics but just thinking of any fps i might play at some point
 
ic, thanks gib_gib.

so if i go sli or just 1 card the above specs/psu/motherboard etc will be able to run both ?

I know live streaming also comes down to internet but i guess sli would make streaming a little better IF i had computer lag issues

added note, i saw on the 580 i was going buy u can now have 3 sli, lol nuts :)

i am learning towards sli now, so if i so sli i go for the 1 u linked the ocuk geforce gtx560ti
