You can try used or factory refurbished PCs. You may find something above $300.

you wont find all that, unless you find it at a yard sale.
The budget it to low to get a reasonable processor, and you arent getting a GPU neither.
So save some money up, so you wont end up having to by something new within a month or two.

Had to re-edit, How about Ranging from $150-$200? Is there any Processor+Mobo+V.CArd+Memory Price enough to fit $150-$200?

You wont get anything with more processing power than a toaster, and better graffic-output than a tv from the 50ish.
Dont buy anything used, better save money up to buy something that actually works.

Well with an APU you can use the IGP.
2GB is not enough for system memory and the IGP to run. The IGP uses the system memory.
Again, please dont buy something you will later regret.

For a decent gaming APU I'd at least go with a quad core a8 or a10 depending on prices, still overbudget though

It really is worth saving up, for that price range you're not getting anything that will run current games well. You will regret spending so little, and as soon as you have $100, you can't upgrade it, but if you had waited you could get something much better, or something to that effect.

Well. I cant really wait till next year, because ill be needing my desktop for research,encoding etc. I only Play dota 2 to kill time. I Used to Run my dota 2 With only
Graphics Card:9400GT
Processor: E5200
2gb Memory and Asrock G31MS, and its been running for 5 years now.
I just wanted to upgrade it, but not too much. I just want to know if the setup im thinking of now is ok or not :3
btw here is what i plan on buying as of now.

He posted it, the Asrock G31MS

For Dota 2 you wouldn't need a 760, that'd be a waste of money

To be honest, just the graphics card and some more ram, that matches what you have, would be a vast improvement.

Yep, go with an older i3 (3220 was mentioned), and more/better RAM for now. Keep your eyes open for classifieds - sometimes you find really great deals there - unwanted gifts or compatibility issues usually lands up with people selling brand new equipment at a fairly decent discounted price. Besides, if everyone actually took note of your requirements then they wouldn't be mentioning GTX760's... DOTA2 at 1080 doesn't require much graphics horsepower to get playable frame rates. My suggestion is, search for the Toms article where they benchmarked various GFX cards for DOTA2 and then see what you're prepared to pay for based on today's pricing and availability. Your requirements aren't hectic at all, so you should be able to get something that works for you with that budget.

Hate to admit it, bro, but that's not nearly enough for even a bad gaming pc. Using $200 dollars you'd get about 7 FPS on Fallout 3 witheverything mind out. (Lowest possiblesettings) Unless someone was an idot and sold a 1200 dollar rig at a yard sale, which, no one would becuase they could get about 600 dollars at a pawn or even best-buy. You're going to have to raise that budget to about $900 to $1400, now that's more do-able.

$900-$1400 is ridiculous, you can run BF4 on medium-high for $700, and he's playing Dota 2.

I game just fine mostly arma2/ dayz standalone on an a8-5600k with mild oc, my monitors crap so its 1024x768 res for me but I have good fun waaay more than on my xbox 360/ps3 and good frames. What I done was spent a little at a time eg 1 stick of fast mem, used old hdd, psu and case etc, now I have 8gb dc mem and an ssd, may invest in a dgpu soon!

Honestly, 3fps on fallout 3 is a lie. I build gaming PCs with around 30fps on fallout 3 for that price easy, and I ship parts from China, usually refurbished and I haven't had a problem yet, but I'm thinking of buying an Asus Striker 2 775 so I may well get a part that is knackered soon lol anyway buying second hand parts is not a bad way to go, you could get a lot more for your money.. or even a trade in for your current parts, i'm sure there are places in the States for that. I'd aim for s775 instead of the newer parts. they still compete and I can get a q6600 for less than $66 although it would be better priced on US ebay am sure.

hah Nvidia all the way, I'd get a GTX 260 for the same price as the Q6600 and have better features for the cash.. or even a 560 now prices have gone down for the price of your grafix card :p
