As you see here, I'm thinking of upgrading my 3-4 year old custom desktop. Only afford to play dota 2 for now. I'm thinking to upgrade my desktop into a middle spec as my budget is not that high. currently my desktop spec is Windows Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Edition (build 7600), 32-bit
Processor: Pentium® Dual-Core CPU E5200 @ 2.50GHz
Graphics Card: GeForce 9400 GT
Total RAM: 2.0 GB

QUOTE(ywliang96 @ Nov 19 2013, 07:46 PM) Quite a good budget actually, try for APU in this case  AMD A8 6600K blk (HD8570) RM429 Asus FM2 A55M-E RM229 Kingston value RAM 1600Mhz 8GB RM229 Total RM887 should be able to play more thna DOTA with this spec, the built-in GPU should be plenty of an upgrade in comparison to your current setup, should be able to play quite a number of games in mid quality settings http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/displ...well-gpu_5.html

Like the above post i think yes But if you are a long lasting gamer I mean in future u would try on many games, I prefer you up your budget a bit because I think it is worth to spend a ONE time for all gaming rigs instead of you upgrade it one by one (1st processorer then 2-3 more months ram n so on). The rigs which may support for 2-3 years next generation of graphics
