If you only play Dota 2 then you don't need such a powerful GPU to run at 1080p60, you may consider downgrading the card to GTX1050(or Ti) and bump the CPU to i7 7700 (if your "video" means video rendering and editing).

Hi bro, thanks for the quick feedback.
How much do u think is the damage if i decided to go with an i5 chip set instead?
Or is this G4560 sufficient to last me for several years down the road?
Cheers

Your budget is only able to build a low end gaming PC, G4560 + GTX1050 is somehow considered as a balance combo, of course you can opt to upgrade to i5 but it is harder to fully utilize the power of i5 when you are able to run the latest titles at low-to-mid settings with the GTX1050.

This G4560 is basically a modern i3 with slightly lower clock speed at a much affordable price, if you plan to upgrade the GPU in near future, then getting an i5 is recommended so you don't have to worry about CPU bottleneck issue, an extra of RM 700+/- is required for i5 7400.

Been reading some reviews of the G4560 and i5 7400 benchmarking and comparison.
Seems like the G4560 is an affordable entry level chip as you mentioned which is reasonably balance in terms of performance & budget wise.
Don't think gonna up my GPU in the near future as my current desktop lasted me for more than 6 years now.
As I thought to get a maximize spec for the budget to last me for a long time haha~
Will give this a real thoughts and hopefully can get it down soon as now just using my lappy for the time being.
Thanks again and cheers

PS: Bro, out of curiosity, if I want a budget rig with an i5 chipset.
what would be the spec be like? TIA

What you get from pre-built OEM PC is bundled warranty, they are usually slightly more expensive than buying separately, you can customize the specs and even the casing if you go for custom rig path.

2.3k is able to fit everything listed in the Dell PC and Windows 10 Home key, probably will have RM 100 left (more or less).

Yes, they are located in Kepong, you may visit their physical store and make an official enquiry before pulling the trigger if you wish to do so.

There are also many other retailers that you may consider, like Idealtech, Techview, DotaTech, Lucro PC etc
