    Budget build for 300$?

    Hey there.

    My friend decided to buy a new PC for like 300-350$, he's from the US so you can use NewEgg or any other american stores. He'd like to run Diablo 3 on it, not necessarily on the best settings 1920 x 1080.

    Could you help us out with a build for him? Exclude OS and other peripherals such as mouse, keyboard and a screen, no dvd drive needed either.

    While I have no experience with the APU, I'd guess it'll run smoothly at medium/high settings.

    Think maybe the new Kaveri chip will run even better? Don't really have time to go look at benchmarks right now... sorry.
