Power supply? You have a slim line computer case? That means you need a low profile video card and I don't think they made a GTX 260 in low profile. Currently you have intergrated graphics and you won't be able to play Diablo 3 with that.

Your computer?

These aren some low profile cards that come with adaptors so you can connect with DVI cables , if you need another type cable then you can also get other adaptors.

However this is the card that will work the best for you and the price is a little better , those other cards are options but maybe not well suited for you. This card will also run Diablo 3 and while maybe not at high but you can get med to maybe high and you can experiment with the settings and resolution to get a good playable gameplay. It will certianly be much better than the intergrated graphics that you have. The chart below will help you to see where these cards fall.
