Please let me know if this is compatible or offer any criticisms. I just want to be able to play Diablo 3 without a hitch. In addition I am Canadian and newegg.ca is where this wish list is found. Please help me to decide if I am making the right choices and whether my PSU will support what I need to do!

Any other suggestions are welcome! Thanks

I would at least get 1333MHz ram http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231426 It is all compatible though.

Drop the i3-2120 and get the G860, and put the extra money into getting a better GPU (AMD 7850...or wait a couple of weeks until the Nvidia alternative is released). With an Nvidia card, bear in mind that the motherboard you have selected doesn't support SLI so if you ever wanted multi GPU then AMD is the way to go.

+1 on 1333MHz RAM, or 1600MHz; that motherboard supports both.

Up the PSU to the 550 - 600W range...Antec are a good brand though, so no issues there. Also look at Seasonic, XFX, Be Quiet! and Silverstone.
