Diablo III? All the bits?

This is cheaper and generally better, with WiFi and SSD, although Small Form Factor (A style I like) The case could be almost anything you like.

For your budget, I'd consider a GTX970 GPU which would allow for other great games, if you change your mind.

Your build is significantly more expensive than it needs to be. You have a lot of overclocking-style bits but not quite the right ones. Do you plan to overclock? It won't give you much for gaming.
