alright so its basically only the graphics card i need to work with at the moment.

so i basically want to be able to run Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 all at the highest settings,
would a gtx 550 ti work fine or do i need to go to a GTX 560?

sc2 is mainly reliant on cpu and diablo 3 is said to be extremely well optimised as well, so a 560 will be fine. Overclocking would help with sc2 frames, but if you're playing on low detail it wont matter.
