Super overkill pricing and cpu for just playing Dota 2 and having so high budget.

An i5 is more than enough than geting the i7 to play games. Only get the i7 if you are doing rendering, intensive photoshop, maya etc. All this then requires also 16gb of ram. Gaming rig dont need so high.

And whats worst you are paying 1.9k and no SSD and gpu like shyt.

For dota 2 and office work.

MSI b85m g43 + i5-4570 ~ $356
Gskills Ripjaws 1600mhz 2x4gb kit ~ $95
WD Blue 1tb ~ $81
Plextor m5s 128gb SSD ~ $139
Palit GTX760 2gb + FSP Aurum 550W Aurum Platinum ~ $399
Fractal Design Mini ~ $129
Windows 8 OEM ~ $120
LG 24inch E2442V ~ $263
Samsung ODD ~ $21
TP Link pcie build in wifi ~ $45
Trend micro 2013 Anti virus ~ $5
Logitech mk120 mouse and kb combo ~ $18

Total $1576

Wireless mouse and kb is bullshyt especially when low batt good luck playing dota when low batt. Ultimate feeder.
