Hey guys here I go again....

I want to invest some £200-£300 ($300-$450) for a PC, just a base unit. I want it with Windows 7, and shipped to UK. Used or new.

I want SC2 to run on that thing if possible if I decide to try it out one day, and apart from that standard nerd multitasking (HEM/10 Chrome tabs/ HD film/2 Poker Clients open antivirus in background, all at the same time.

Can somebody tell me what to look for and where to get it?

This is an example of what I could get for £250 on ebay:
Chip Type: intel pentium processor E5400 Processor Speed: 2,800 MHz
Memory (RAM): 4096.0 Hard Drive Capacity: 320 GB
Brand: Medion Primary Drive: Daul layer DVD / CD ReWriter
Features: Graphics Card, Keyboard, Mouse, Operating System, USB Condition: New

Never heard of that CPU sounds fairly generic. SC2 is a fairly graphically intensive game, your going to want a decent CPU and video card. If you want to run it on decent settings that is.

Something like this would be decent ok.

Just Spend 1k, get a GOOD reliable computer so you can run SC2 on ULTRA graphics and your other apps in the background with any problems.
