Eye candy is a huge distraction. I could easily max the game, but I don't.

I work graveyard 4-5 nights per week, and when I was going to school I couldn't play games AT ALL for at least a couple years. Just started up again with CS:S at the end of last year!
Oh, and...

Speaking of KA rated games, I remember Diddy Kong Racing. That magical elephant used to scare the holy fuck out of me. Made me cry as a little girl.

Graphics I could care less about as long as the gameplay is good. I am only platinum but barely get time to play to move up. I had a ton of time to play but not so much anymore. If you do start to stream, let me know. I would like to even scrim against you to see how bad I am ;P

Yeah, I don't really care about the graphics either as long as your micro is interesting! I mean, I can't really play anything on high graphics anyway... so I'm pretty used to the minimalist look. And I agree with you Alina, eye candy is distracting... whether you're talking about in-game graphics or attractive people in RL :p.

Oh and I'm making a new SC2 PC out of my mum's Dell Vostro 220. I ordered some weird mechanical keyboard and MMO hotkey mouse combo that glows blue, a 16GB USB 3.0 SSD to put the game on, and an NVIDIA 650Ti 1GB. The CPU (will upgrade ASAP) is an Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 at 2.80 GHz. I'm going to use the classic paper clip trick to get my 80 Plus Bronze PSU working with the GPU, as the 300 Bronze is just too little to work with the GPU after I upgrade the CPU.
Yes, the GPU was MAJOR overkill, but even if it is bottlenecked by this temporary (but still awesome for SC2) CPU, all that extra bottlenecked power will still help a little. And yes, until I get the CPU (probably a Core i5 Dual, since SC2 only uses two cores), I will be overclocking this E7400 to a wonderful 3.20 GHz
