I'm currently in healthcare and my old gaming laptop broke down. I mainly want a PC that can handle playing Dota 2, but since I'm between jobs, my budget is pretty tight right now. My friends keep mentioning a "future proof" setup, but I'm not really sure what that entails. Could anyone suggest some compatible PC parts that won't break the bank? Just to clarify, I'm not into FPS games.

First, it's important to set your budget. But honestly, you could probably skip gaming for now until you're in a better financial spot. Dota 2 isn't demanding, so you'll be fine on a tight budget. Just let us know what you can spend, and we'll help you out!
Good news! Dota 2 can run on some really basic systems. Having a budget in mind would help, though. Do you already have peripherals like a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.? If you're trying to keep costs under $1000, that's totally doable, especially here in the Philippines.
Just so you know, you can have a solid setup with something like an Intel i7 4770 paired with an RX580 GPU for playing Dota 2. Since Windows 10 support is winding down, you might find some good deals on used PCs that can easily run Dota without spending too much. Keep in mind, though, it’s worth checking if that setup could handle newer games as well!
