Well the prices might go down in august which is definite advantage and go for a ATI Radeon graphics accelerator because AMD and ATI works together well.
Need samedays loans for immediate expenditure.

I haven't played Diablo 3 in a long time (since I got a refund), but when I did it ran like crap even on the lowest settings. The spell effects were massive resource hogs. I don't know if it's been updated to run better since then.

Just make sure you don't under-budget your system too much or you might have performance issues. I'm not sure if Diablo 3 is more CPU intensive or GPU intensive.

The prices of what might go down in August? Radeon GPUs?
