Nong nong neber post such things here.

Your budget segment allows you to get optimal specs you just need and also sought after.

CPU+MB: Intel Pentium G2010 + ASRock B75M-DGS @ $131
CPU has in abundance of computing power to cope with your light and simple tasks.
StarCraft II is only optimised for 2 threads. Strong core performance is a big plus for StarCraft II.
I won't foresee yourself needing expensive motherboard having additional features which will be underutilised.
RAM: G.Skill NT DDR3-1333 CL9 4GB [Black PCB] @ $46
4GB is already more than sufficient to handle your degree of multitask.
GPU: PowerColor HD 7750 1GB @ $123
Empowers StarCraft II on high in Full HD in fluidity.
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.D 1TB @ $82
Most value, high capacity, high performance HDD with 3 years warranty.
Store twice as more with just $20+ top up over 500GB.
ODD: Samsung 24X CD/DVD Writer [OEM] @ $21
CASE+PSU: In Win BK644 + Powerman IP-P300BN7-2 300W SFX [80 Plus] @ $99 (Laser Distributor)
Small mATX chassis in the same league as Alienware X51 satisfying your desire for compactness.
This chassis allows for 2 x 3.5" HDD despite specification of 1 x 3.5" HDD.
Refer to this: ?? ?BK644?_?_??_
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit [OEM] @ $115
Windows 8 is just bull.....

Total: $617

Is only reliable if you do your homework well and buy whatever the parts is and bring back home to DIY. Going thru them will get good discounts if you know and being firm of what you want to buy from them. And PLEASE open your mouth for discounts. Do not blindly let them charge you. Check all the parts that you asked for.

Can go PC themes. But you got to pay a little bit more slightly above $50-$60 more. And assembly fee of $20.
