Case: Good case, expensive though. It's also more meant for watercooling. (could save $80 here with something like the HAF-X)
CPU: Excellent choice...Best CPU for price/performance. Though Ivy Bridge is literally around the courner...
MB: Looks good to me
PSU: That PSU is overkill for just 1 card and even overkill for most 2-cards configurations. (could save $40 with an 850w)
Memory: Why 16 GB? (could save $40 with 8GB)
SSD/HDD: Pretty standard, looks fine
Optical Drive: Again, standard...I never buy Bluray discs, but it's "future proofing" I suppose. (could save $50 here with a DVD drive)

All that said, I'm just penny pinching here. Everything you have listed are great choices if you're trying to extend the life of your computer as long as possible.

If you're willing to spend the extra money for a little bit of "future proofing" (nothing is ever future proofed when it comes to computers), then by all means, go for it

PS: Any reason you can't wait for Ivy Bridge to be released?

Choices all look good to me, though I'd get a different case (purely for the fact that I have no experience with Azza, not to say it isn't a good case).

1000w PSU would definitely be enough for this build.

Good luck with it all! I still think you should wait for the new Ivy Bridge CPU's to be released though

Can't...already have vaction planned, and as much as I'm sure I'll love D3, definitely not worth upayed days.

Quote from Mastodon

Defiantly, the vet won't have issue, but you will never know what would happen if you meet two deadly affixe mob and they froze you on top of the poisons.

Oh yes...those trees with the frozen affix would be quite deadly, especially to melee characters. HC players beware

if you stand in it for more then 6 sec you are dead

WoW vets should have no issue here. There were times were you got maybe half a second to move before you died >_<

It's really a tossup. Both the Barbarian and Wizard will probably be very strong in the PVP arena.

Would you prefer to have more survivability? Go with the Barbarian.
Would you prefer to be more of a glass cannon? Go with the Wizard.

That's my opinion at least.

Boring thread is boring...not even worth posting in.


Crap...

But D3 ISN'T WoW. It's primarily a single player game with a side of multiplayer.

From my play throughs of the beta and what I've read, I believe the game will be completely playable with any class/skill combo. Heck you could run with 4 of the same class. Of course 4 Wizards spamming only Ray of Frost will proabably not do well in Inferno

What I'm getting at is that people will not really need to worry about class/skill comp to be able to complete content. Will it be done? Of course. Will it be needed? I doubt it (with in reason of course).

Quote from Kalles

Peoples are whining and upset because they game never get released, now they want to push the release date even further back. Nice!

I suppose the thought didn't cross your mind that they aren't the same people?

Quote from Afro_DemonHunter

Yes it is an annoying process of searching through pages to find what skill you want to assign to a slot. I am more concerned with the fact that you have to change a skill out of a slot before you can switch it to a new slow. The process becomes twice aslong and is very unsmooth.... a big guh.

This, this, this...

WHY oh WHY are my skill choices locked to the slot I put them in. This becomes even worse if there are 2 skills that I want to swap around. I have to first change out skill A with a random skill, then put skill B in A's old slot, THEN I can put A into B's old slot.

Stupidly tedious

I chose this build because I have always loved frost themed characters. There is a certain thrill you get from stopping enemies in their tracks with freezing cold, then shattering their frostbitten corpses into a million pieces

Quote from Orinrin

make sure you got a good tattoo artist who wouldnt screw up the design and make it extra derpy.

also remember to post results.

Which is why I can never get a tattoo locally. I mean, they aren't bad, but I have yet to see them do anything with a lot of detail.

@ OP - Good luck with yours though! Better post some pics

I don't see them bringing an old class back (aside from the Barbarian obviously). If they did though, my guess would be the Druid; as it's shapeshifting abilities are the only skillset not represented from Diablo 2.

That being said, I think the new class will have some for of shifting skillset. What that would be enhanced by though, I have no idea right now. Blizzard has a pretty wide variety of skills already in the game.

It really depend on which character I choose to play first. It's a tossup of Monk/Demon Hunter/Witch Doctor (this all depends on which character I decide to play with my brother).

If I go Monk it will be a female because she reminds me of the Assassin from D2.
If I go Demon Hunter it will be a female because chicks with guns (or crossbows in this case) are sexy.
If I go Witch Doctor it will be a female because, well...I'd rather play as a crust old woman than a crusty old man
