i play wow and diablo 3 but my current computer is having trouble with diablo 3. will this work? if you see anything wrong let me know.
 
OK a few things...

Firstly I'd go for 8GB of G.Skill RipJawsX or Corsair Vegeance RAM over the Crucial Ballistix.

Secondly, the GTS 450 is an old card now, over 2 years old, drop it and go for a Radeon 6850 or 6870 instead, or if you want NVIDIA go for a GTX 550 Ti or 560, but the Radeons I mentioned are faster than those NVIDIA cards, and sometimes cheaper too. Any of those cards I mentioned though will be faster than a GTS 450.

The PSU you've got there isn't great, go for a Corsair CX 500 or CX 600 instead, either one of those Corsair units would be enough for your system.

You likely don't need a full tower case, especially not with a mid range graphics such as the 6850 or whatever, so I'd go for a midi tower case such as the Corsair Carbide 300R or Antec 302 or something.

Other than that, looks OK to me.
 
My recomendations, get a newer, better card for $130, like this.
That PSU likely isnt junk, but not great. This PSU is $5 more, but has a $10 MIR, and it is a great PSU.

I dont know about Azza, but a good full tower will beat a good mid tower in airflow and room to work. A cheap full tower against a good mid tower in airflow, a good mid will probably win. Unless you are going to get a big aftermarket cpu cooler, not to much stuff, like a complete water cooling setup, a mid is all you need, plus you save money to buy a better GPU. A case is personal preference in looks, but tell us what you have in mind. Antec is good, corsair is great, coolermaster is good. Newegg is probobly better to shop at, they have more stuff. Here is a great case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139011

AMD nearly always loses agianst intel, but at that price, choose amd.

Sorry for the many typos, finnaly trying to learn to type.
 
Yep that's pretty much what I recommend. An FX-6100 would be fine for gaming, and you can easily fit aftermarket coolers in the midi cases. I've got a Freezer 13 in my Lexa S. That's massive cooler in a midi case and there is room to spare.

Nope you want a GDDR5 video card if you can get one, it's the newest technology. Most graphics cards these days don't have VGA, only 2x DVI and maybe a few HDMI ports, you can get VGA-DVI adapters cheaply. Get either a Radeon 6850 or 6870. :)

Everything else is good but I still don't think you need a full tower case. Go with the Carbide 300R or perhaps a Cooler Master HAF 912 or 932 or a Coller Master Enforcer and save yourself some money.
 
Whoops sorry apparently I can't read. I'd still look into the other cases though, just had a quick look at the one you posted and the ones I posted in my last post are better. Better cable management features etc etc. It's up to you at the end of the day though.

A 6870 is a very good choice. :)

Link isn't working for me, it says there are no items in my cart. I think you need to make your list public or something?
