Yea, for the SSD, I was thinking when it's loading textures, maps, etc during multiplay or loading in between zones. But you're right, 7200rpm SATAII might cut it.
I've been doing a research for the last week or so getting ready to put a new machine together to play this game at 1080p.
One topic I haven't seen addressed is wether or not D3 will rely more on the CPU or GPU? Does anyone have any specific data to support the question?
I'm looking at either investing in a G850 Pentium CPU which would give more room in my budget to invest in a better GPU and then upgrade later on when Ivy bridge launches/matures.
Or going with a i5-2500k now and getting a lesser GPU card and potentially running it with my existing 9800GT.
I notice a lot of people complaining about lag from recent patches and I've been reading the game isn't optimized yet, so perhaps it's too early to tell. Would a SSD drive help with load times especially in multiplayer?

Appreciate whatever feedback I can get, thanks!
