kind sir use ebay and craigslist. my computer cost ~$150 and runs dota 1080p max settings 150 fps. on overwatch its about 130.
step 1. search "dell optiplex" on ebay you will find a variety of i5 computers, i5-2400 and i5-3470 are most common that cost $75-125 with shipping.
step 2. buy a GPU for the games you are playing. if its just dota then you could grab a used 750ti for ~$50 or for me i got a gtx 960 4GB for $100
and there you go, for $150 you have a ballin' pc that can run fps and dota games on high settings with good frame rates.
G4560 is pretty much the best bang for your buck right now if you're not buying used. 750Ti is great.
Or you can do what that guy did^
Since you're on a budget, hunting around the used PC market should benefit you more. Try doing some research with youtube channels like RandomGamingHD, NerdOnABudget, Tech City, and the like. You should do your research before buying and remember to buy from reputable re-sellers (if it's too good to be true, it most likely is)
Buy the 1050 ti and the last pentium lineup g3something, you will be able to run dota fine
in a game it usually runs around 150, and drops to 110ish when shits happening.
i got a dell computer that a fire-sprinkler company was getting rid of because its like 5 years old. They had it posted on craigslist for $50 with no HDD so i went and picked it up, and it had a i5-3470 cpu and the mobo had a slot for a video card, so i got a PNY 960 4GB for $100.
seriously check craigslist before shopping new, you can find amazing deals.
edit: one minute of searching

$175 asking prices for a setup that can run dota at probably 130
ik you're on a budget, but seriously highly consider saving for the longer run. If you can push it to 500 you'll get a much better bang for your buck and it'll be future proof so you can play something thaT inevitably interests you in the future
It's pretty much as genocidal says, you'll be very happy with the endresult and it's cheap.
this is not a budget build, this is like super mega ultra giga low end build, I'd rather save some more and get something decent instead of this low end pile of junk.
