Alright hows this look? I had a friend help me a bit and used a lot of the resources you guys posted. I'll get a tower case too, so add however much that will be.
I need a new computer before D3 comes out. My current one is a toaster with keys. The only games I really plan on playing are Diablo and minecraft, so if anyone could give me an idea of a decent priced computer (desktop) that will give me good D3 playability, I'd give you so many beta keys.
P.S. I have no beta keys
I just bought a computer from walmart.com. It is actually pretty nice. I used the ibuypower customizable computer setup. I had a fairly tight budget but I went with this since I work at walmart and get a discount. I got an intel i3 2120 3.3 Ghz with a radeon hd 6770 video card with 8gb of ram and 500gb storage. It only cost about $740 without a monitor. While they went cheap on the motherboard it was only because I didn't upgrade to the i5 cpu. Mine is a micro Asrock motherboard but I plan to upgrade it in the future but this should last me quite a while since I really am only going to be playing diablo 3 on my computer I got the NZXT gamma case so it has plenty of room for a bigger motherboard. I would recommend this for anyone who does not want to actually put their own computer together. I cam completely assembled and tested. All I had to do was plug everyting in and go through the standard windows 7 startup. The only thing I don't like that came with the computer is the keyboard. It is a cheapy and doesn't feel the best but I just purchased the razor arctosa to replace it so I am fine with that. They do put their logo on everything (case, keyboard, mouse). The one on the case would be rather easy to remove since it is really just a badge they attached, but the keyboard and mouse are painted on but it doesn't really bother me.
I don''t have the beta so I can't tell how well it will run that but according to canyourunit.com it will run diablo 3 "fast" and on their chart it surpasses the recommended settings.
I just purchased my new desktop with an intel i3 2120, 8gb ram, 500gb hard drive, with a 1gb radeon hd 6670. Not the greatest computer but should be able to run on medium for now. Since I am in college and on a rather tight budget I plan on using this as a starting point and upgrading it as I go. Along the way I will most likely end up replacing most of the main parts of the computer and just basically have a complete second computer over time that I will most likely either give to my girlfriend or sell.
You're already looking at spending over $800 and would have to completely change your build if you didn't use one of those 3 specific processors? How is that? I was under the impression you were planning to build a comp from scratch, and didn't have any of the parts yet.
I'm just always looking to secretly plant the seeds of destruction to bring about Intel's downfall, their pricing makes me rage, almost as bad as Apple's. Pretty much Baal's minion over here.
In the original post i give the link to the build options from walmart.com. It has customizable options that I can use but not the whole stock of iBuyPower... The 10% discount I get from Walmart.com keeps me under the $900 max cap too. I am also not greatly experienced with building a computer from scratch so this type of build would give me a starting off point that i can tweak over the next couple of years.
Ah but all of this is for a later date for now since there are only 3 processors available for my current build options. For me to put anything but the i3 2120 i5 2400 i5 2500k or the i7 2600k in is completely buying the build from a different site and more money
Also are you building this computer and what is your budget?
I am using Walmart.com since I work at Walmart and have a 10% discount. I am using the ibuypower customized build at http://www.walmart.c...d-more/15374646
My budget is max $900 with everything including monitor and with that current setup after taxes and my discount I am right around $832
Do you know how to build your own computer? Even with the discount, its far cheaper to do so.
This price includes everything with the computer also including monitor and operating system... buying mostly similar parts online ran me almost always at least an extra $100

I am planning on purchasing a new desktop as I only have a laptop that has no chance of playing Diablo 3 when it comes out. So far it will have the intel i3 2120 clocked at 3.30 Ghz with 3Mb cache with 8gb ram and a radeon hd 6670 graphics card. I have the possibility of upgrading to a radeon hd 6850 but it will cost an extra $60 dollars and this build is already stretching the budget. Do you think the build I have now will run Diablo 3 fairly well? I don't need to run it absolutely maxed out yet. I plan on upgrading this computer over the next year as I get the money but for now this is about the most I can afford without waiting another month or so to purchase the computer.

Don't forget about your operating system
