Diablo 3 desktop advice

You'd want the graphics upgrade at least on that making it $475 base, and I'd want at least 8GB on any new system these days.

Is $475 with those specs considered a good deal?

The problem with those specs are that they are ambiguous. You can spend $10 or $100 on a 500w power supply, and you can get a 1GB video card free after rebate, or you can spend $100+ on a 1GB card. The 1GB doesn't mean much when you don't know the product line.

That being said, the seller is trying to maximize profit so I imagine these items are pretty low-end. While not ideal, I would suggest checking the Dell outlet periodically for scratch&dent or refurb products.

EDIT: What are you using for a PC now? Perhaps you could get it game-worthy for pretty cheap.

Currently using a HP dv6 laptop. From what i've read, I can't change the graphics card on it.

yea I wouldn't recommend using CL to get a PC.

you want a place that has warranty and some creditability. What is your budget?
