This project focuses on MOBA-style games such as Dota 2, alongside gaming and video editing. Using Adobe Premiere at 720p or 1080p is a solid setup for building.

The expenses are quite reasonable for basic setups, though opting for the latest components would be more appealing for updated guidance and compatibility with Windows 11.

Approximately 120 USD covers MOBO, CPU, and RAM together. The RTX3070 costs around 330 USD. The graphics card is a bit pricey, but it’s only about three months old from its last owner.

It’s likely to get slow, Xeons work best for casual play only when you have a low-end setup like an RX 580 or GTX 1060. I’d recommend a Ryzen 5 5500 or higher.

Yes, the dual CPU in the motherboard can limit performance even if the GPU is strong.

Usually games avoid using the second port because it introduces more delay when data reaches it. You might get better value for money if you can locate an affordable AM4 setup, though it isn’t ideal.

it's a 28-core setup? No, it doesn't really change much unless you're really using every single core. The 2011-3 model isn't worth the investment—it's an outdated platform. A decent CPU like the 1660v3 with an 8-core processor and overclocking potential would be better. But the motherboard will reduce its value significantly. You'd probably get a better deal by buying a used Ryzen 3600(x) for around $50, especially if it's a later model running at 4.5-4.6 all cores. Used B450 or B3/450 chips are the most cost-effective options. These systems are built for multicore tasks, not gaming. Even with overclocking, cities skylines 2 works well. Prices under $900-1000 for a Zen 3 64-core chip seem reasonable compared to what you'd pay today.

I purchased one of those Chinese boards, but it had a defective PCI-E port, which means there are potential issues. Please check it promptly! I forgot to take part in the RMA dispute process. Fortunately, the ECC memory functioned properly, and considering the price, it wasn’t a huge loss given the current RAM costs here! XD

Absolutely, I remember getting a CPU and cooler together—it could have been a good deal. Also, it would be smart to see how long the store has been operating.
