Your current rig should run dota 2 just fine. However upgrading the GPU won't allow you to go that far is it would bottleneck depending on which you upgrade to.
You could upgrade to a 1050/1050 ti but that is not that much improvement for the money.
Anything beyond that will be greatly limited by yoru CPU.
If you cant find a cheap i5 2XXX or 3XXX (may require BIOS update for 3XXX) then you should just save money for full upgrade of CPU/MoBo/Ram
So you're suggesting keeping the same graphics card and changing everything else? would it give me stable 100+fps in dota2? Thanks!
Sorry my last part of that post was confusing.
No you will need to upgade GPU as well.
I was just stating that if you cant get a used i5 for a good price you will need to upgrade CPU/Mobo/Memory in order to ugprade to modern hardware, and still also need the GPU.

It runs dota fine, but i went to get 100+ fps stable even in fights, at the moment i get less than 60 fps in fights and it's unplayable for me when its less than 60 :/
