fav hero + mmr?

also, since you're on a budget, you might want to look at amd for the graphics card. amd is pretty great in terms of performance/$ in the midrange

>>52410674
Most likely an Athlon or FX chip, although they do have limited upgradability. I'll make a recommended parts list for you right now.

two fucking cores for actual work?
return to /v/

This one is good, but I advise to never rely on rebates.

You'd probably be better off with some hybrid of

Replace the xeon with an i5 4590 though. Just noticed that xeon doesnt have HT
>>
>>52410866
>>52410860
These 2 are the only ones I'd recommend.
>>52410866 is great if you need more CPU performance, and >>52410860 if you needed more GPU performance.
>>52410900
>falling for the hyperthreading meme
Xeon E3-1231 V3 if you really need HT. Not sure on price though.
>>
>>52410866
If OP wants to play anything else than dota in the future with higher settings than low, the 380 build is better.
>>
dude what the fuck.

go on ebay.

get a 50 dollar lga2011 board.

get a 110 dollar xeon E5 2670 octo core processor

get two 30 dollar 8 gig sticks of ram

get a 50 dollar 400 watt power supply

get a nvidia quadro 4000 for 150 bucks or something

and you're still under budget

build a fucking case out of plywood and add a cheap heatsink and a couple cheap fans

don't fucking buy new. you can't afford it. that xeon processor cost 1600 dollars new. 110 used.

if you respond super quickly i'll go on ebay and put together a system from things ready to buy now.
>>
>>52410860
This is the best one in the thread OP, go for it
>>
>>52410928
Mate he said he wants to play Dota 2. Why spend so much on a GPU to "futureproof" when he actually needs a better CPU for work.
>>
>>52410943
thanks!

thanks to all who answered!
