After persuading the wife that it was time to upgrade from an old Celeron that a buddy hooked me up with.

I managed to put together a decent budget system that will hopefully stand me in good stead.

I play Dota 2 most of the time but have started picking up titles on the steam sales and can now finally enjoy them at decent settings and FPS's. :)

Specs:
Core i5-4590 Processor
8gig Ram(2 x 4gig)
ASUS NVidia GTX 1050 Ti Phoenix
500G HDD
DVD Writer

Costs:
Dell Optiplex 3020 Workstation Desktop - R2000 (Gumtree - actually bought a 3rd gen i5 for R2000, sold it for R3000 then bought the 4th gen for R3000 - but the actual cost to me was R2000)
ASUS NVidia GTX 1050Ti Phoenix - R2600 (Chaos Computers - Black Friday special)
LG 23 inch FHD monitor - R1000 (Gumtree)
Total: R5600

Also used a R500 gift voucher for PCI-E Wifi adapter card (TP-LINK TL-WN881ND) for R329, and used the balance for a new mouse pad.

Feeling pretty chuffed :)
