I am assuming d3 means diablo 3. Most GPU's will run it, go on ebay and pick one up for like $50

You wont win a giveaway for a gpu, they get so much attention you will be better working to make money in the amount of time you would try to win a gpu.

Why would you spend the money on an SSD if you still planned on buying a GPU as well? Poor planning...

Considering the requirements of D3, you could spend $20 on a variety of a LOT of GPU's that can run it and have it playable.

 

If you cannot afford $20 or more for the experience and want it for free and are willing to wait forever and a day for that to happen...., then you don't really want the experience.

 

Harden up, plan better, buy a older but capable GPU (like a $40 5850 which will play BF4 @ medium-high) let alone D3 minimum or maxed out. There are many older GPU's that are quite powerful but VERY cheap.

 

Have friends? Ask them for $20, let them play D3 with you or whatever.... your not out of options.

 

It really isn't hard to get what you want in life, unless you don't care to bother trying.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

So you suddenly decided to game on your PC? You can't be that desperate then. As many others have suggested, there are a tonne of ways to earn a little bit of cash on the side. It's the start of Spring, make up some flyers offering basic gardening or Lawn mowing services and spread them around your local community. Get your local News agents to hand them out.
