I'm looking to build a budget gaming computer. Diablo 3 is my current concern but I'd like something that will last at least a couple years. I'm trying to stick to ~$500. Any suggestions or issues that you see with it I'd be very greatful to hear about.

I figure if I need to upgrade it in the future I'd get a new mobo, graphics card, cpu but try to hang on to the rest. I have a copy of windows 7 that will transition from my old computer to this one.

that will work, some of the things I would choose instead:

Rosewill Green Series RG530-S12 530W $42.50 with promo code (15% off) and free shipping, it's better unit than the CM in this case
Patriot Signature 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) $44 w/ free shipping and free 8GB Micro SDHC Flash Card w/ Adapter just in case you want to overclock a bit this will make it painless.

everything else looks good, cheers!
