ok guys well im almost ready for D3 lol all i need is a power supply suggestion and a video card i was looking at the readeon hd 5770 if it is a good card feel free to suggest anything. if their is a card you guys think is better around the $100 through $150 range plz tell lol im new so im trying my best to figure it out but nothing is better than personal exp i think

well good news i saw a good deal at comp usa so i had to take it it's a desktop big difference right laptop to desktop lol. i was getting informed a ittle more about pc games and found out a desktop kicks laptops butts in gaming they're more powerful and u can upgrade them much easier anyways here are the specs of what i got and tell me what u think

Price: $380
Processor: Amd Athlon 2 Dual core @2.7 Ghz
Ram: 3gb DDR3
Video Card: ATI Radeon 3000

It's got extra PCI slots so ill probably buy a video card i saw at Compusa. its a EVGA Geforce 9500 GT 1GB for 50 buks pretty good reviews so ya wat do you guys think? u think id be able to run it on low-med to med settings?

Lol@how ridiculously high the suggested specs are. They are certainly gonna be similar to Starcraft II's requirements, maybe higher in some areas. Here's what I think

Any Core 2 Duo processors, though this might be over the top, as well
512 MB video card
2 G of RAM

something along the lines of that.

hmm u think maybe 256 mb video card would work not in the best conditions i just want maybe low mid to mid settings , a 512 mb card seems a little over my budget atm but who knows diablo 3 isnt coming out till 2011 so i might buy one later on but wat do u think with a 256 like i said?

I think that you will need a better video card.

Those are the system reqs for Starcraft 2 and I think they will be similar for Diablo 3:
PC Minimum System Requirements*:
Windows® XP/Windows Vista®/Windows® 7 (Updated with the latest Service Packs) with DirectX® 9.0c
2.6 GHz Pentium® IV or equivalent AMD Athlon® processor
128 MB PCIe NVIDIA® GeForce® 6600 GT or ATI Radeon® 9800 PRO video card or better
12 GB available HD space
1 GB RAM (1.5 GB required for Windows Vista®/Windows® 7 users)
DVD-ROM drive
Broadband Internet connection
1024X720 minimum display resolution

PC Recommended Specifications:
Windows Vista®/Windows® 7
Dual Core 2.4Ghz Processor
2 GB RAM
512 MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800 GTX or ATI Radeon® HD 3870 or better

Alright thx alot i appreciate it and once again thx for your time

well since im kinda new i couldnt find any posts pertaining to my question so i made one if some1 knows were i can post this i gladly will but for now i guess if someone could answer my question would be nice. and the question is im getting a new laptop im kinda on the poor side of gaming lol so wat im getting isn't the greatest keep that in mind lol it's a:

Compaq Presario
Specs
Processor: AMD Athlon 2 Dual core @2.1ghz
RAM: 3GB DDR3 memory
Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4250

i think thats all that is necessary to reach a conclusion on how this laptop would probably handle Diablo 3 on wat we think diablo 3 will need to run at

any1 who could give me any info would be really nice since im kinda new to pc gaming and Diablo

Thanks alot for your guyses time.
