hey GoodBoiBoi,
The MSI CX62 would be a good choice that's well within your budget and if your main game is Dota2.
The Dell 7559 and MSI GP62 are two other good choices at higher budget. Both use the same 6th-gen Intel i5 processor but have some pros and cons.
Dell 7559 cost more but comes with a higher 960M GPU. But some minor limitations below
- doesn't support DDR4 RAM so each RAM slot limited to max of 8GB DDR3 instead of 16GB DDR4
- only HDMI display port (but no issues if you're not running multi display)
- no support for USB Type-C (faster connector)
MSI GP62 is slightly cheaper but has a 950M GPU. In comparison to the above,
- comes with faster DDR4 RAM, upgradeable to 32GB
- has HDMI and Mini-Display port (good for running multi display)
- has USB Type-C (faster connection, quick charging and display output as well)
IMHO, i would stick to models with 940M GPU like the MSI CX62 and save your budget for a better higher end gaming machine once you decide on what games you like to play.
All the best and happy shopping!
Honestly, DDR4 and DDR3's speed is negligible in gaming.The MSI CX62 would be a good choice that's well within your budget and if your main game is Dota2.

I own both system that runs on Haswell & Skylake. Both have 32gb ram consisting of DDR 3 and DDR 4.
Can honestly say performance is similar at best.
950m performance when benched with 960m, I think almost 30% difference?
For gamers, that's honestly a deal breaker.
