What Dota Underlords actually demands from your PC
Steam's recommended spec for Dota Underlords is unspecified with —GB RAM and a mid-range CPU. That spec was written for the Valve team's internal "minimum acceptable" target, not for a buyer in 2026 planning to keep this PC for the next four years.
GPU-bound title: Framerate scales directly with GPU power. If you have a fixed budget, prioritise the graphics card and accept a mid-range CPU.
What you can skip vs what matters
- Worth spending on: GPU first, then a fast NVMe SSD (most modern games benefit from sub-3000MB/s sustained reads), then RAM at the tier amount.
- Worth skipping at this budget: RGB lighting, exotic cooling, brand-name PSUs above 850W (unless you're building enthusiast tier), and motherboards with more than 4 M.2 slots.
- Don't compromise on: The PSU. A reliable 750W gold-rated unit will outlast two GPU upgrades.
