While the system requirements for the currently running multiplayer beta version of StarCraft II have been revealed for some time we haven't really learned what the full retail version of Blizzard's upcoming sci-fi RTS game will be like. The FAQ on Battle.net currently doesn't list the system requirements for the game.

We contacted Blizzard's PR rep and they sent us the final retail system requirements for the title. They include both minimal and recommended hardware for PC and Mac users. In addition he told us that Blizzard's online FAQs for the game will have this info up soon. You can check out the system requirements for StarCraft II after the jump:

I'm assuming you mean starcraft 2 beta.
So if I were you, I would just give me your beta information, I'll play SC2 for you.
In the meantime you can play FF13, once you beat it, play WOW.
