Would a 320 intel SSD 120gb suffice over the newer 520 for diablo 3's needs if i want blazing fast load speed? would i even notice the diff? or should i just suck it up and get the 520 ?

I have the intel 320 and Diablo 3 loads are already very fast.
But if I were you, I'd suck it up and get the 520

For someone on a budget the Corsair 120 would be a good pick. Not as good as the 520 but much better than the 320.

Another thing to consider is that d3 will only minimally benefit (if at all) from being on an SSD. I have an SSD, but MMORPGS and other games that dont have to load new areas in real time from the harddrive (sandboxes, fps) I keep on the normal HDD.

D3 loads in < 10 seconds already(7200 RPM), so I don't really know if the SSD will show much meaningful performance boost at all.

D3 is not exactly a graphics intensive game, although it does look great.

have you been playing it today? what did you think of it? and did you have the installation bug others have if they played beta before?

Its awesome. I came home for lunch and played it for a bit, would be on it right now if the dang servers weren't down. No bugs or anything, mine works great.

The barb has been completely modernized. In some of the more hectic moments (I'm only as far as the beta has gotten and lvl 9) you can see the gameplay for the barb has really evolved since d2. I cant wait to get back in there, but the stupid servers are down.
