I would prefer the AMD X2 555 over Core i3-540, better value for money hmm.gif Around RM50 cheaper, cheaper motherboard, roughly same performance in SC2, and better overclocking potential. The money saved adds up to a higher bump in GFX card model number.

Just my humble view smile.gif
me thinks X3 / X4 models are better. I'm using X3 425 and it works great.

based on kentang emas's recommendation, here i choose these specs for those who need a new rig to play starcraft 2.

prices from jayacom (go buy from their imbi branch, much less people, much faster access. lowyat plaza too crowded)
http://images.lowyat.net/pricelist/jayacom.pdf

RM275 - MSI 770-G45 - mother board
RM138 - 2GB Kingston DDR1333 (CL9.0) - ram
RM138 - 2GB Kingston DDR1333 (CL9.0) - ram
RM305 - Phenom II x3 710 2.60Ghz 1.5MB L2 / 6MB L3 - processor
RM435 - Sapphire ATI HD5750 1GB DDR5 128 Bit

total almost 1.3k but can play starcraft 2 nicely

i can ultra with my rig (X3 425 3.5ghz + GTX470 + 4GB) but i find that it's laggy. so end up i reduce details to HIGH and it's ok already.
