Hello,
I'm considering buying a new rig for Diablo 3, but I'm not sure whether to upgrade now (and be ready) or wait until after launch (for testing, benchmarking, Ivy bridge, etc.).
The rig I aim for should be able to give me solid 60+ frame rates at 1920x1080 with maxed details.
After reading the Tom's Hardware article on Diablo 3 I've chosen these components:
MB: AsRock Z68 Pro3 Gen3
CPU: i3-2120
VGA: Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 1GB
RAM: DDR3 1600 2x4GB Kingston kit
I'll be using my old HDD and PSU (Corsair VX450). My current set:
MB: Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe WiFi
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
VGA: Palit GeForce 9600 GT 512MB
RAM: DDR2 800 4 GB
It ran the open beta OK at 1920x1080 and low details, tho it struggled a bit in graphic/CPU intense moments.
What do you think? Should I wait or buy now?
