: I know the importance of a gpu in a gaming rig but i will be promoted to class 12th in april and then i will be able to play till august max and i wont be able to utilise a gpu to its full potential and by the time i will start hardore gaming again (mid 2014) it will be a little old and i wont have the money to buy a new one then.
YOU:Then why are you buying a pc now?buy it later when you can play on it!
ME :My old pc is totally fried and i need a pc urgently and buying a el sasta pc now and then buying a good one later is not an option (and also i need to play dota 2
)
YOU :No problem, so we will tell a good AMD based rig because they have better integrated graphics and you will be alright.
ME:Thats the worst part..so my brother in banglore thinks i already bought the pc with intel i5 with the money he gave me but i as you know havent bought the pc and a lie became too many and he will kill me if he finds out that i wasted the money on other things (i know
) so i cannot buy a amd based rig and face my brothers eternal hatred for a few extra fps. all i told him is that we have i5 so i am free to buy other parts of my choice.
i need to know if that i can play dota 2 on low settings on intel hd4000?
Now for the technology part of it i thought of a rig
Intel I5-3570K-14K
Gigabyte z77x ud3h-12k
corsair gs600-4k
cooler master elite 431-3k (recommend some fans from flipkart i have 500rs voucher)
gskill ripjaws x 4gb 1600mhz-1.5k
Total=34.5k
UPS=??
Monitor=??
mouse/ keyboard=??
As i said earlier ocing and sli/crossfire is not that important so can i go for a b75 or h77 mobo and save some money?all i need to know is if they can support the next gen. of amd /nvidia gpu's and i wont lose much of features and perfromance.
I know this is a wierd post but i NEED your expert opinions on it.
