I want to change my motherboard because i can't play Dota 2 very well. I plan to change to ASRock FM2A58-HD+ so that my processor can be compatible with the motherboard, By the way my processor is AMD A4-4020 with Radeon 7480D also I will put graphics card with
Powercolo R7-240 V2-OC 2GB-DDR3 -28BIT (AXR7 240 2GBK3-HV2E/OC) VIDEO CARD

It isn't a compatability issue it is more like you want to drive like a Ferrari by going fast and cornering quickly but you have a Toyota Corolla. CPU and GPU affect game performance. The goal is to play at least 50fps. To play DOTA 2 at that you need at least a decent dual core cpu and a decent gpu. I'd suggest not buying a new mobo instead getting a better GPU. If you are playing at 1920x1080 then try to get a AMD 7750 or R7 250 isntead of a 240. Once you do that see how the game is. If it is still weak then you need to upgrade the CPU.

I have a question for you, how much do you want to spend? The reason is if you buy the R7 250 and then upgrade your cpu, you may then wish you had a faster gpu.
That being said, I think your cpu will be able to handle the R7 250. I'm using a Asus R7 250 1GB DDR5 on a 6 year old Pentium dual core e5200 @2.5Ghz 4GB ram. I believe your cpu is similarly or slightly better than what I've got, and my cpu can handle this card, I get the same benchmark scores as others with the R7 250.

Since the mobo supports FM2+/FM2 processors AMD A-series according to:
http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=703#cpu
I see the 4000 series on the list so it works.

It will work with your mobo. Also, I googled your mobo and cpu and found this:
http://lazaa3.carladdyert.cluhost.info/category-lz1_2/3808-price-amd-a4-4020-3-2-to-3-4mhz-turbo-processor-with-biostar-a58mdp-fm2-mainboard.shtml

Don't forget to use thermal paste when you install the CPU.

The mobo is compatible with the R7-250.
