honestly either set up will be able to run D3 on ultra settings with no issues. its all preference. most people swear by intel, but ive used mostly AMD and never had issues and it runs great. id go with whatever is cheaper
EDIT: about 1 beefy card or 2 shittier ones xfire. always go with the 1 beefy card. i suggest the GTX 570 or 580 depending on your budget. i have the 570 and it runs everything i have on ultra with zero lag.
The Intel setup is better and more future proof, if the extra cost isn't an issue go for the Intel setup, I know I would. Also remember the new Intel CPUs are coming out in April, so if you can wait, I would, the difference won't be huge but if D3 gets delayed you might as well just wait.

The question isn't why do I kill. The question is, why I don't kill everybody.

ok so these are what ive been looking at.
ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000
XFX HD-695X-ZNFC Radeon HD 6950 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity
XFX HD-695X-ZNFC Radeon HD 6950 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity
or
BIOSTAR TA990FXE AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD FX-6100 Zambezi 3.3GHz Socket AM3+ 95W Six-Core Desktop Processor
(2 of these in Xfire) XFX HD-695X-ZNFC Radeon HD 6950 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity
So what do you guys think will be best for D3 and also for future viability.

If this is purely for Diablo 3, save yourself the $$ and get the AMD. If you are just upgrading in general, get the Intel.
If it was me, I would get the 2500k (in fact, I did :P)
