This is what i have picked out at the moment. I was hoping to maybe save a little more money than that if possible without losing any quality in my graphics and speed. I only play D3 so i know it doesnt require a ton to run on max but i just want to be sure i can with no problem.
I will say have no intent to overclock my pc at the moment and am not a genius when it comes to this.
Any suggestions, criticisms, or comments on my build would be much appreciated.
I want to get the most bang for my buck but also get the full experience out of my gaming.

It all looks good man my only thing is that 600w is a bit of overkill unless you were planning on sli'ing in the future. I would recommend the 750ti though because it's about $10 more but you get a pretty decent boost plus power savings with maxwell.

The psu is absolute garbage. The psu is a very important part. When a cheap psu dies it can kill everything attached to it. Get a unit from seasonic, xfx, antec or corsair (except the cx series). 500w would be more than enough for those specs with a bit a room for upgrades.

This is very similar to my build, except I got the 3570k cpu and a 750w bronze.....You should probably try to bump up your power supply, to atleast 700w. 600w is kinda the minimum I would say in that built. 600w will be ok if you don't plan on any upgrades, otherwise in the future when you upgrade parts, you will also have to upgrade your psu as well.

Other than that, this rig will def be able to play Starcraft 2 on Ultra. League on ultra-prob and average 100fps or more. So basically its going to be able to play most games today on atleast high setttings. You should be fine with this build for years to come :)
