So...I have this gen 4 Alpha with an i5-4590t processor in it. I play a alot of DOTA2 even though I'm pretty bad at it. lol. I actually have 2 questions. 1. Is it worth it to upgrade to the i7-4785T or i7-4790T. 2. Why are these processors going for as much as they do? I assumed they would be under $100.00 by now with 9th gen intel chips out there.

I'm currently aiming for a steady frame rate in Dota and monitoring my GPU performance. My goals are to hit specific targets while keeping an eye on how CPU and GPU changes impact my gameplay. If you need assistance finding this info, just let me know. I don't have detailed insights on how upgrades affect Dota's performance, so I can't comment on that. Regarding Intel parts on the secondary market: 4th Gen models are beginning to offer better value at 1080p, and high-end options tend to be pricier there.

Sure, I understand. The GPU you're using is a NVIDIA Maxwell GTX with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, and your RAM is fully utilized to its limit.
