I am considering buying a PC for gaming and want to know whether these specs would be able to run StarCraf 2, I know I can compare the recommended specs that Blizzard gave out but I would prefer some direct help from actual gamers. These are the specs I am looking at:
CPU- AMD Athlon II X2 250 (2x3.0GHz) 3600MT, 2mb
Power Supply- 600w Corsair PSU
Motherboard- ASUS M4N75TD- nForce 750a SLI Chipset
Memory- 4gb Kingston DDR3 1333mhz
Harddrive- 1tb SATA 2 Hard Drive
Optical Drive- Dual Layer DVDRW Drive
Graphics- Dual 512mb Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 (SLI)
with Windows 7. These are the specs for a PC I am looking at it costs £689.78, so I want to know whether you think this is good enough specs to last for a few years running StarCraft 2 and some upcoming games. I'm not gonna be running on top settings but more likely mid range settings. Thanks everybody.

Yes, easily.

I can tell you this without even looking at the specs on the Starcraft II box. Blizzard's games are notoriously low spec, that's one oft-neglected reason why they're so popular.

Nothing really left to be said on StarCraft 2, but since you're probably going to run into this sort of situation again once you actually have the new PC I can recommend Can you run it? [http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/] for being free and useful.

Okay OP, I'm assuming those specs are a prebuilt. Even for a prebuilt, you're getting ripped off pretty bad.

Build it yourself; you can build a top of the line PC for 700 pounds.

EDIT: Or at least a get a prebuilt one [http://www.aria.co.uk/Systems/Gaming+Range/Gladiator/Gladiator+VISION+HD+Gaming+PC+?productId=44208] that's not terrible.
