yeh, go for a bit higher cpu (i5 2500) and drop the ram to 4gb. D3 will run maxed out on the cpu you have chosen as well, just cpu speed is better than an extra 4gig of ram you do not need.
Also, what PSU is in the case?
D3 will run maxed out on a lower gfx, like a 460 or a 5850 even. If you have budget constraints and wanna build a pc for d3 that is.
With your setup, and even much lower graphics card as that you will be able to run it maxed out smoothly. D3 does not take a lot of power from a pc. It does not even have ultra mode like sc2
I have been a long time reader of these forums but decided to join up today in excitement for the
15th of May launch.
I am trying to build an economical PC that isn't noisy and will run Diablo 3 at Max Details 1080p.
This is what I have come up with so far:
Any advice in regards to the Hardware is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
i Prefer Amd than Intel...and if ure making to economy its for sure the best option..u can pic an Bulldozer octacore its way better than I5 and cheaper...and a AMD videocard too HD6950...its better than gtx560 and cheaper too
wow some great advice coming and so quickly I will take it on board and update the planned setup.
@faithful: are you sure that the Bulldozer is better than the i5? I read alot of conflicting info while putting together the system people saying the the AMD is only good for Applications..
Also the Case comes with a Coolermaster 420 watt PSU, I have used the same case and PSU at work and it is dead quiet.
The 1 GB version of the GTX560ti is only $10 cheaper.
Can someone tell me what the difference is between the i5 2500 and i5 2500k?
So far you guys have saved me over $50.00

What is wrong with ppl, you do realise D3 zones load instantly....SSD's lol.
SSD is really not worth it, spare a few seconds on windows load and nothing on D3 loading...hahah.
What exactly did I say wrong? Only thing SSD's do is reduce loading time right? Especially if we are talking Diablo 3. I have played the beta, game loads almost instantly.
Seeing as this is about a pc being built on a budget for D3 a SSD is pointless. Nothing /facepalm about that.
