Diablo3 PC build

[judius]

Hello all, I'm very new to building PC's and it seems like it's definitely the best way to go in terms of getting your money's worth.

I'm having a hard time coming up with a good build for Diablo 3 with my lack of computer knowledge. I'm looking to build a computer in the 500-650 price range that is only for gaming.

I'm leaning towards intel since AMD seems to have a lot of issues with Blizzard games. Any help on a build for running D3 on high settings for this price range would be much appreciated.

Purchase Date: As soon as possible.

System usage from most important to least: (Gaming and web browsing, mostly gaming)

Parts not required: keyboard, mouse, OS, speakers.

Country: US

Parts preferences: Only preference I have since I haven't bought a desktop in years would be Intel since they seem to run better with Blizzard games

Overclocking: No (unsure, new to overclocking)

SLI or Crossfire: No (unsure, new to this as well)

Monitor: Still need to pickup a good monitor for an extra 100-150

Main priority is running games on highest settings possible and as smooth as possible, specifically Diablo3.



I was looking at http://gamingrig.blogspot.com/2012/05/diablo-3-gaming-pc.html for my build and possibly doing some minor upgrades if necessary.
