At 720p you will crush 40fps with a 750ti, especially if you have a halfway decent CPU.

950 is the same cost just much faster

I play a lot of LOL, and before my 980ti when I had a 650 SC i was getting over 100+ FPS.  A 950/960 will do fine, I promise you.

SC2 can run on pretty much any GPU.

 

The real problem is that it requires really really beefy single-threaded CPU performance. An OC'd Intel CPU is the single best thing. A 4.7 GHz G3258 will run it better than an FX-9590 by a shitload.

Single thread IPC is more important for SC2 than a GPU so just get an i5 4460 or 4590 if you live near a Microcenter. Decide on a GPU with the rest of your budget, preferably a gtx 950 or r9 380, depending on how much you have left.

While I can't say the same for the GPUs you've listed, I tried it on my i5-2400 and GT-730 and tested it at 720p and 1280p on High and Extreme (Extreme is the highest possible setting) and the results were:

 

(1280x720, High)
68 FPS - 200 marines walking around the terrain without nearby bases
51 FPS - 200 marines inside my base
27-32 FPS - 200 marines simultaneously attacking the enemy's base

 

(1280x720, Extreme)
40 FPS - 200 marines walking around the terrain without nearby bases
29 FPS - 200 marines inside my base
18-23 FPS - 200 marines simultaneously attacking the enemy's base

 

(1920x1080, High)
56 FPS - 200 marines walking around the terrain without nearby bases
35 FPS - 200 marines inside my base
20-25 FPS - 200 marines simultaneously attacking the enemy's base

 

(1920x1080, Extreme)
32 FPS - 200 marines walking around the terrain without nearby bases
19 FPS - 200 marines inside my base
17-21 FPS - 200 marines simultaneously attacking the enemy's base

 

I added a minimum-maximum fps for simultaneous attacks since they fluctuate at a rapid rate during the fight compared to a steady -1,+1 fps difference while walking in the terrain or while inside my base.

 

I hope it could've been of some help.

I'm going to buy the i5-4590

In 4v4 I have sometimes 1 fps. Current build: i5-2430m and a gt 520m. I know.... I need a new pc
