If you really want it just for that go buy some laptop from Best Buy. D2 can run on a smart phone, let alone any basic pc.

If you fell like build a machine yourself and you will have the option to upgrade with an pcie gpu if your needs changes.

Otherwise look into an i3 NUC.

Yeah you could just use integrated graphics on a decent chip then get a gpu later if you need one

I picked this up at the source today. Is it a good, mediocre or a bad deal? I had reservations about posting it because nobody wants to hear they got a bad deal

Well perfect for browsing and diablo. Don't expect ever doing anything new gaming related with it with that 1ghz duo Core cpu.
Personally I'm not fond of these small 13inch screens. But I guess it smart for school and research on the run.
