Anyone?

That's an extremely poor PSU. You can do better, for less. You should never pay less for your GPU than your CPU, in a gaming rig.

I just changed it up slighty.

Is it worth paying the extra for an i3? All i plan on playing is diablo 3 and WoW. I dont need max settings. My very poor pc at the moment plays WoW on medium settings at around 40fps. But diablo 3 is a bit more taxing on me. Cant even play in a multiplayer game without skipping. I figured that the GPU would do fine. I checked the benchmarks for it and the price is decent for a 2gb ram card.

It's DDR3. it doesn't matter how much VRAM it has if it's slow. It's a 400-series card. That is 2 generations out of date.
The GT 430 is slower than a GT 240. Slower than a 5570. It's not a gaming card, it's an HTPC card at best.
Review of a DDR5 version, which is FASTER than the one you linked.

Look the the GPU guide
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-2.html

Look at the CPU guide
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-2.html

Look, a $500 laptop would be better than what you have there. The built-in graphics of the CPU are probably almost as good as that card.

Do you think getting a 750W PSU is going to help you in any way? With your current list, you need a 380W PSU.

Im not planning to spend 100+ on a GPU that I will not use half of what it can put out. I am going to play Diablo 3 occasionally and WoW. I do not need Crysis on mAX levels. DO you understand...? I don't think you do.

And the 750w PSU is going for 54.99. FInd a better PSU than that for 54.99
