Do you have a budget?You will need to start with your CPU first. Celeron is really old already.
CPU: I3-2130
GPU: HD 6870
RAM : 4GB

You will also need to check the PSU before buying these gears. If you have a 500w then you will be fine.

Actually with that much memory I'd assume it's actually a Celeron E1200 which is a 3-4 year old dual core and while I haven't checked the system requirements for Diablo 3 I'd imagine it'll be sufficient.

The first thing to take is to take the side of the case and read the label on the side of the power supply (top left corner if it's a tower case), the important numbers are those in the +12V section (or +12V1, +12V2 etc.), it should be a double digit number followed by an A, e.g. 30A
