I have a question..

Would this video card MAX out SC 2 ?

well you would have alot of frame rate issues even on very small resolution
i would recommend HD 5750 or the GTS250 if you want to go cheap on GPU

Oh thanks.

I have one issue, i dunno much about comps but, I have a PCI express 1 slot on my motherboard where i can put a PCI express graphics card... My question is can i buy a PCI express 2.0 graphics card and still be able to put it in the 1.0 slot? or do i need a 2.0 slot?

PS: how about this card? http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...0&Sku=B52-9826

the card is ok however i would recommend buying from newegg.com

you can put the card in the PCI.e 1.0 slot, as long as this "1.0" number doesn't mean bus speed, probably it doesn't mean that
i would recommend changing the motherboard as well, if the mobo is using old 1.0 PCI'e expansion slots than it's probably weak as hell

Yeah i meant putting a PCI Express 2.0 graphics card into a PCI Express 1.0 slot.

I'm using a motherboard called ASUS M2A-VM, it has Expansion slots : PCI Express x16 x 1 • PCI Express x1 x 1 • PCI x 2

So I have a question, I plan on getting the following computah:

Intel i7 920 2.66 Ghz
2 gb x2 DDR3 1060
GTX 275 video card 893 mb

Would that run SC2 at max settings ?

Get a i5 750 instead. It's cheaper and faster.
