Title is pretty self-explanatory my laptop current specs are
-AMD Anthlon II Dual Processor 2.30 GHz (not over clocked)
-Ram 4GB
-ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
I am looking to up my performance in Dota 2 but not for a high cost.
So some questions I have to ask.
Is i5 an increase to my performance if it has lower GHz?
How much of a difference does RAM make?
Forgot to add I also want one that could help me stream.

Ram makes very little difference just get something newer (ddr3 1600 or 1333 mhz ram) an i5 is a stronger processor in general so yes, even if it is clocked lower. I would recommend getting a strong gpu though since dota2 is probably more reliant on the gpu (i'm assuming).

Most people here will reccomend you buy an inexpensive portable device (tablet, chromebook, cheaper laptop) and use the rest of the money to build a desktop. Is there any reason why you couldn't do that?

Hmm should I invest in one of the new 4th gen processors?

If you multitask a lot with memory intensive programs (adobe anything, visual studio, ect) I would go with 8gb myself.
