Disregard this.  The 4670 is a mid-tier graphics card, and will play anything out right now at medium-high settings.

I recommended a 4650, which is really just a gimped version of the 4670. Trust me, Blu, if all you want to do is play Starcraft on mid at 1024x768, it'll be just fine.

I just remembered that Intel has good overclocking processors; so why not go for a Pentium Dual Core and overclock the thing if you find yourself needing more power?

I will say if you go this route, pick up another heatsink for it, these are nice: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200024 . It should fit in your case just fine.
And always the Thermal Paste: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007

I really don't see the point behind overclocking unless you're looking for e-penis. The only thing that CPU clock really influences is video encoding, and an aftermarket heatsink is going to put Blu another $30 bucks in the hole at the very least.

Not to mention that the AMD is already starting off at a higher clock for the same price. Yes, you can make the case that Core 2s have a bit better architecture than the original Athlons, but all of the new Athlons are actually just gimped Phenom IIs, which compete pretty much head-to-head with the Core 2.

Not to mention that Intel is filled with pricks, but that's more of a personal judgment than anything else.

Corsair is generally a good company.

Seconded, and I'd jump on that Corsair PSU that you found ASAP; you almost never find them that cheap.

I sometimes just want to pass people on to my brother, since I usually go to him when I need advice...

Well, this is going to be coming from me since my brother is currently out bowling

Cheap PSU, bad idea, but, going somewhat against PY, you don't NEED a PSU that's under powered for a GPU, you'll just get funny things like this but if that goes too long you'll get a BSoD. And that is also pushing my GPU to the point it's doing screen tearing so if you don't use the full power of the GPU an under powered PSU should be fine.(loooonger than I wanted to type)

I was going to comment on the case size, but you might be good with a small

And if you want Ubuntu you miiiiiiiiiiight want to go with a Nvidia graphics card. You should know that.(The link and your description don't match btw)

Hey  prefer intel but I'm not a prick :x

But I can agree with overclocking, there's not much to notice if you're not doing anything that uses a cpu clock-for-clock. The option is there if its needed though.

Oh, I forgot to edit that part when I changed the video card's link. Look a couple posts back, where I linked two video cards and asked for a comparison between them.

Also, I won't be able to jump on that PSU. I probably can't order the parts for another couple weeks and the deal ($15 instant savings) expires tomorrow.

I didn't say Intel fans were pricks, just Intel corporate members.
