    No speakers but beats audio. lol?
    Processor is fine (quad core right?)
    Memory is great.
    Hard drive is standard, with large capacity. Doesn't really matter (it's good to have faster hard drive but it reallly doesn't mater that much)
    Your graphics card is great.

    You should be able to run StarCraft no problem
    On highest (Extreme) mayyybe not. Ultra should be fine. That is, according to my understanding of modern hardware. (which is flagging cuz i haven't kept up to date xD)
