What I want to achieve:

* Run Dota 2 on Ultra Settings
* Vsync Enabled/ON
* Stable 60 FPS (No Drops)

Here is my planned RIG:

CPU = Intel G2030 3.0Ghz
GPU = Palit GTX 750 Stormx OC
RAM = 8GB ddr3 1333
Display = 20" screen with 1600x900 Resolution

Can I achieve my Goal using the specs mentioned above?
Need help and suggestions. As much as possible, I want the maxwell gpus to save electricity.

Thanks!

well, SOTA2 has fairly low requirements. I saw something for a medium 1920x1080 build.

Here's my best guess for a 1600x900 ultra build:

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 760K 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor ($84.74 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: MSI A55M-E33 Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard ($39.99 @ Micro Center)
Memory: A-Data Plus Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($42.26 @ Amazon)

Give budget? What currency? What you already have that is reusable? Or are you starting from scratch?

IF you really have to have an Intel plus nvidia build but note, going AMD on both cpu and gpu will be cheaper and perform the similarly:
I would suggest you consider to increase your budget if you want a nice case.
Also whilst the Pentium is cheaper, an i3 would be better and less FPS drops.

Going ivybridge isn't much cheaper than Haswell. You could buy 4gb ram for now and later add another 4gb ram to make it 8gb.

if you really want it under $500 then buy the pentium then.

EIther is fine. It is just the coding of the game that can cause fps drops. The game is not fully optimised even though it is out of beta there are some improvements that can be made. Patches from updates can cause these problems as well, it is just the coding being inefficient.
