Requirements for Diablo 3
http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/diablo-iii-system-requirements


I have an OptiPlex 780
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2Duo CPU E8400 @3.00Ghz (2 CPUs),~3.0Ghz
Memory: 2048MB RAM
DirectX version: DirectX11
Operating System: Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
Video Card: Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset


PS I suck with computers and I dont know squat..
So what do I need to play this game?

I don't think so. That video card is a GMA based. Everything else will work, so upgrade your GPU and you will be able to play it.

Your computer is fine in general. The onboard video just sucks. You got a PCIe X16 slot, so you could add a video card. Dont know how much room the case has for a video card, you would need to measure that to know. Plus probably the power supply sucks, so that would need to be upgraded too.

Recommended requirements for a GPU is a 4870, with the minimum being a Radeon X1900. Any higher-end non-6-pin should be decent. Though if you want better graphics you'll want a stronger card and PSU.

I am planning to get that, do you think it would work?

 

[wolfeking]

you will need a PSU to get that. Also get the 6750 as it is less power hungry and is the same card specs wise.

You could get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131461 and probably be fine with your current PSU as it does not need external power.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.868016 Combo for 170. I found one for cheaper with a coolermaster 460, but dont get it.

 

[wolfeking]

Good find, but e will not see any better from that PSU as his original. The card is still only getting power from the PCIe lane.

 

[byteninja2]

PC p and c is good, plus, yes he will see much better wattage from it.

 

[wolfeking]

I am not saying its bad. I am saying that the card will not get anything from that that it won't from the one he has. With low power cards like this, it is stupid to waste money on power you don't need.
