Depends on the level of details you turn on for StarCraft 2, it could tax even the high end GPU.
GT610M will be a disappointment in gaming.
Z500 is 15".
You don't need i7. At your budget, you should spend your money on as good a GPU you can get.
13" normally don't have discrete GPU that can handle games well.

Consider these:
Lenovo
Z400, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT740M@RM2099, 4GB, 1TB, W8; 2 years warranty
Z480, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT640M@RM1999, 4GB, 1TB(5400rpm) W8 (not easy to find stock now)
G480, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1699, 4GB, 500GB(5400rpm), FreeDOS
G480, i5-3230M + Nvidia GT635M@RM1899, 4GB, 1TB (5400rpm), W8, 2 yrs warranty

Toshiba
Satellite L40-AS109Xb/G/W, i5-3337U + Nvidia GT740M@RM2199[Onkyo], 4GB, 750GB, 3 years local warranty

Prices are RSP, negotiable.

RSP - recommended selling price set by laptop brands, i.e. printed on brands brochure. You could get cheaper price than that from any re-sellers.

Well, is your Windows 8 Retail or OEM?
Only Retail version can legally transfer.
