    Question Purchasing new PC, need help.

    Hello,Im looking to purchase a new pc withing the next 2 weeks or so, to get ready for Diablo 3,MoP, and Starcraft 2.I'm like to get a system that can last me for at least 2-3 years minimum, I know that technology is constantly improving,but I would like to get a build to last me that long to be able to play games on Ultra settings(without shadows of course), or at least High settings.

    My budget is currently $900-1000 USD,I had an old case I was planning on using, but its about 5 years old, so Its not really going to work.I'm not exactly computer savvy but, I do know that I need all the parts for a new pc, including a monitor.Any help would be greatly appreciated.


    The parts that I believe that I need the most are as followsObviously there are more, if there are essential part's please include them if you can.)

    Motherboard
    CPU
    GPU
    Monitor
    Case
    Power Supply
