Hi i am looking to purchase a new PC with budget of $1500-2000 inclusive of monitor

I will use to play dota , overwatch, run android emulator overnight 24/7 (Nox) and watching movie. Currently old laptop always hang while running nox and cant do any form of multi tasking ( surf net or launch even Word or Excel)

Hope the desktop will be able to last 3-4 years and not too bulky
Any recommendations or if my budget will be able to fit what I need?

Thanks you! Any builders?

I think if you are not big on graphic-intensive games, a GTX 1060 is more than enough. Save $300 :)

yap not at the moment for graphic intensive games. But my main concern now is that when I open nox with my browser (maybe 10 tabs) then maybe open excel, it lags and hang.
For this is it got to do with RAM or Processor? Or is it user problem X_X
