I'm looking at buying a laptop for college, while also having the capabilities to run some games (Battlefield and Starcraft II, mostly). I'm trying my best to keep the screen smaller than 13". Anything higher is out of question!

Will these specs suffice?

Software & Services
- Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
- 320GB SATAII 7,200RPM
- Adobe® Acrobat® Reader
- Alienware M11x 90W A/C Adapter
- Integrated 10/100 Network Interface Card
- 1.3MP Web Cam
- Standard Nameplate
- Intel® Core™ i3 330UM (3M Cache, 1.2 GHz) - Overclockable
- 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 800MHz
- No Internal WWAN Antenna Installed
- 11.6-inch WideHD 1366x768 (720p) WLED
- 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 335M
- Internal High-Definition Surround Sound Audio (5.1)
- Alienware M11x, Soft Touch Stealth Black
- Alienware M11x a/b/g/n 2x2 MIMO Wireless

I plan on adding Bluetooth support and a recovery disc. I'm looking at the total price to be about ~$800 after tax. Is this setup decent for Starcraft II? I'm sure the GPU can handle it, but I'm a little concerned about the i3 and it only being clocked at 1.2 GHz...I don't know how to overclock either.

Also, if anyone has an alternative laptop with similar specs, please let me know! Thanks!
