i mean it looks good, there could probably be some minor improvements but would have to do lots of looking
you might want to upgrade the wattage of your power supply a bit, i dont know what the consumption of that video card is but 430w is kind of low

If you have it in your budget (which it appears you do) then go with a quad core anything, top of my head i5-2500k would be a good choice but is more expensive than you HAVE to go, while that will run ok now, its going to show its age quickly as more and more programs become multi toileted. As well, once your 550ti starts struggling you may find your self limited on upgrade options with only a 430w PSU... just thing to think on, given what you have thus far i would argue these would be worth while upgrades:
CPU:
Intel Intel Core i5-2310 Sandy Bridge 2.9GHz quad
($180 @ newegg)
Motherboard:
Biostar H61MGC Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
($54.98 @ Newegg)
Memory:
CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) pc1600
($32.99 @ Newegg)
Hard Drive:
Western Digital Scorpio Black 250GB 2.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
($59.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Video Card:
MSI GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB Video Card
($114.99 @ NCIX US)
Case:
Antec Three Hundred Illusion ATX Mid Tower Case
($49.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply:
CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 V2 600W y
($49.98 @ newegg - MIR)
Keyboard:
Lite-On SK-1788/BS Wired Standard Keyboard
($14.97 @ Newegg)
Mouse:
Microsoft 4YH-00005 Wired Optical Mouse
($11.99 @ Adorama)
Total:
$570.00
Your getting 2x the memory and faster memory for a few bucks more
Your getting a quad core proc
your getting a PSU that can handle most GPU upgrades because if you add the RAM and proc your GPU is now the weakest link.
IMO this is 70 dollars WELL spent, and you will reap its benefits in the years to come, as you have a solid proc, memory, case, and PSU you just have to make sure your GPU is up to the task of whatever games you throw at it, only other OPTIONAL stuff I would consider would be SSD/HDD changes, but again those are optional...

BUT DIABLO 3 COMES OUT IN ONLY HOURS - I don't care about nitpicking to save ~$100 as much as I'd rather have the PC by the end of the month

Well thats legit haha
But i would say the upgrades i pooped are worth the extra 70 bucks.... how to find them in PCPP i dunno, is there something special about that site that you MUST use it? just order each peice individually or by site and you will be good to go in a few days, clearly in time for midnight PST, but i think you knew that
