Hi there! Looking into building my own pc, mainly to have something worthy of playing diablo 3 on when it comes next month! Never built my own before and its a bit much to take in, so I thought I might post what I'm looking into buying and getting suggestions. Trying to stay under $1000, but as always the lower the better... So here goes nothing.
