Just purchased a Compal PBL21 Barebones System for my bro in law who is a WOW and D3 freak.
Paid $290 for this which personally i think is a steal.
it comes with a 2gb Nvidia 540m Gpu which im Praying is enough for D3 or Wow, (im not a gamer)
what it doesn't come with is the processor,ram and hdd/ssd.
Im very proficient at laptop building, but i dont know what he needs for running newer games at decent settings...
Im assuming i would have to put an I7 ,an ssd,and 8gb of ram in here to be able to play stuff decent,though it can take a i5 or i3 also. (sandy)
What is the cheapest setup i could get away with to build this so it can play on mostly higher settings? or will it even be able to play on high at all?
your help will be much appreciated guys.. there's no better group online than you guys!

It should work great for WoW and D3 because neither of them require much power.
