My total budget is around 680$, but today i found out that razen 2400g is good apu for 150$.
Can u guys suggest me other stuff along with it (motherboard, psu(my current one is 220v), ram(current one is 4gb ddr3 ram), i have a medium sized cabinet idk how to check its size according to standards( its bit smaller than my old intel pc cabinet).
What i want is a pc for 2-3 years of dota 2. I play long hrs 7-8hrs continously so pls also suggest cooling solutions .

My current rig is amd apu 4-4000, 3.2ghz and a intregated graphic card. It used to work decent for dota 2 until last year now it drops fps to 20-30 and i cant even listen songs when i play dota 2. If i install a dedicated graphic card with this rig will it work for 1-2 years? Also i think my hard drive may be slow now game and files load slow now a days.

Not sure of your location, but this would be a decent build. The 2400g will run Dota just fine. It is a good option for esports. I would suggest getting 3200mhz RAM, and you may want to go with 16gb as the APU will does not have dedicated VRAM. It will use the system resources. Wont be much of an issue for Dota, but other games may give it problems.

It should be more than able to handle DOTA 2. You might want to wait a bit and see if AMD ever releases something more powerful along the lines of the Fenghuang APU because that would be ideal, not sure what's keeping AMD from doing so, maybe it's a CES release thingy?
