Purpose is a cheap, reliable, and upgradeable (in the future of course) computer. I want to be able to play Diablo 3 without a hitch. This is the build, I realize I need an operating system, hoping to find a really cheap one as I'm a student. All criticism is accepted, please go light, I'm fragile.

My reasons for these parts is because of my budget. I am Canadian and this rig falls into my price range. Will I really need what you all are suggesting? I am not tech savvy, so, again, all input is gratefully accepted
 
Well as the 6870 is usually cheaper than a 560 I say change that. A 560 or a 6870 on a 430W PSU is going to be a little tight, so yeah defo get a Corsair CX500. Maybe leave the hard drive for now and just get the 500GB one, and yep I'd recommend the 1600MHz RAM. Maybe spend a tad less on the motherboard if it's still too expensive for you.
 
The Radeon seems to be $50 more than the 560, aside from the power supply and ram will I notice a huge difference if i dont change the card?
