If you're getting a PC for Diablo 3, do not get a PC yet, it would be stupid.
Regarding whoever said you can't go wrong with eVGA, that's pretty dumb to say. They are among the cheapest in quality and hence in price, which means the highestly likelyhood of something going wrong. After about 6-12 months of use I think it was, a video card I had had a cap blow on it, and since eVGA had like a short ass warrenty, it couldn't be replaced.
8800GT is one of the best buys right now. But it would be stupid to assume it could run Diablo 3 at high settings, especially if you consider high settings to be high resolution (above 1.5MegaPixels) with high anti-ailiasing, in which I would guarentee it would not be smooth.
CPU will probably not be too important considering it's a 3D game which emphisizes graphics, and doesn't have to deal too much with physics or ridiculously large armies. So any good deal now would probably be adequate (like the intel E8400).
Quad cores are overrated right now because they can't make use of 4 cores well, as opposed to dual cored CPUs. Dual core CPUs for now have much faster processing power, making them excellent. I suppose down the line quads will slip past them though, but eehh...
