I need a new computer by Tuesday (Diablo III release, and I also want to get back into Starcraft II). I don't want to spend too much; I'd say around $500 max, but less than that if possible. I just need to know how possible it is to run Diablo III on decent settings with a cheap computer.

I found this on sale at Best Buy that I was thinking about getting, but will it even suffice? It's been like 8-9 years since I last built a computer, so I know nothing about parts anymore.

Oh, and here are the system requirements for Diablo III

That's actually quite decent for $479. I assume you already have all peripherals you need you need because those add up too. The graphics card is kinda mediocre though. I would pay more and splurge on a better one, as it's easily the most important thing you need to play new games.
