Pondering building a SC2 Rig, need help.

Ive been going round in circles looking at pc parts and scratching my head.

I want to play starcraft2 maxed out with no slowdown, but i dont want to overspend, as sc2 is the only game i really play.

Anyone know the minimum i would have to spend to play sc2 maxed out at a steady 35+ fps even in big battles?

What are you running at the moment?

SCII doesn't take a lot of Graphical power. a GTX 560 will run it on MAX at very good FPS
