First PC Build in looooong time.

Basically just creating a simple cheap PC that can run mainly Diablo 3, which doesn't have very high requirements.

Any possibility one of you could look over this to make sure it all will work out and nothing crazy I can not think of will happen.... And any input on whether it will run fine?

Thanks!
 
Your PC picks should be fine. The hard drive is on the small side but if you aren't going to load a lot of software and games you should be ok. Normally I would like to see a 500 gb hard drive. You could get another 250 gb hard drive later and move files to it for storage.
 
heres an option, i3 are better for gaming should run 8gb of ram in dual channel (2x4gb) for gaming,
lot of problems with cx series lately i gave xfx tier 1 similar price

$400 budget for me is the awkward place to build a rig, it's like between low end and mid range lol

I've changed the motherboard to a better one, cheaper RAM (that's still good), higher capacity on HDD
