@ Newegg.ca they're $185, not sure how your currency matches up to canadian currency though. Unless you want to upgrade to an i5 with a new motherboard & ram, then that should probably suffice.

whats a GPU ahaha? if it means graphics card then i have a Nvidia Geforce 9800GT. I just bought the quad core so yer, should get it in about 3 days or so.
When i do get it should i self install it or would it be too risky because i will probably just follow some guide or bring it to some comp shop to do it for me but i really dont wanna spend money lol.
I'm not expecting to max out the setting but at least make the gameplay smoother lol this is what the card is like when maxed on black ops - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQhS6z1wRW0 which isnt that great but lowering the settings abit will prob make the game run smoother.
The Core2Quad Q8400 is great. I'm very pleased with it, it's easily overclockable if you really need to do that, and it's overall performance is great for its price.

Either way the q8400 is still a good cpu and you'll definitely notice a difference in SC2. It's much more CPU heavy.
