I need help to build a cheap PC to play DOTA2 @ 1,920x1,080 resolution.
No need monitor, CD writer, keyboard, mouse, SSD, HDD, OS.
Budget $400.
I saw 2 options from the suggestions.
Intel Core i3 3220 & Asrock B75 PRO3 M ~ $251
or AMD FX-6100 & ASUS M5A78L-M LX3 ~ $255
G.Skill DDR3-1333MHz 8GB (2X4GB) ~ $60
PowerColor HD7770 1GB ~ $158 or Palit 650 1GB ~ $155
Antec Neo Eco 450W PSU ~ $69
Ikonik EN2 ~ $55
Total ~ $56X (if minus gfx card, $40X)
Intel Pentium G2120 & Asrock B75M-DGS ~ $153
or AMD Athlon II X2 250 & ASUS M5A78L-M LX3 ~ $163
G.Skill DDR3-1333MHz 4GB ~ $30
Antec Neo Eco 450W PSU ~ $69
Casing ~ $40
Total ~ $30X
I checked TradePac and PC Theme's pricelist but those G2120 and Motherboards are not in the pricelist. Are those components replaced by newer components?
I also understand that Intel has just released some new CPUs. Among them is i3-4360T, but the newer CPUs have not hit Singapore yet? They are not in the price list as well. I am thinking of using i3-4360T's Intel 4600HD GPU to play DOTA2 to save some money. Does it make sense? Or should I get a cheaper Pentium or i3 processor and a dedicated just-good-enough graphic card?
To summarize, I need help to build a cheap PC to play DOTA2 @ 1,920x1,080 resolution.
No need monitor, CD writer, keyboard, mouse, SSD, HDD, OS.
Budget $400.
I would appreciate if you can share your thoughts with me.
Thanks in advance.
