If want to play it on 1080p with at least 30 fps, get any laptop with i5 + gt 840m (around $999 before upgrade RAM to 8GB)
If don't mind play it on 768p then just get cheapest laptop with dedicated graphics card like gt 820m (around $799 before upgrade RAM to 8GB)
If want to play on max settings, 1080p and 60 fps at least, get a laptop with i5 + gtx 850m at least

Alternatively, you can get free Windows 8.1 license from your school/dreamspark if you're a poly/uni student then get a base configuration of Aftershock M-15 + upgrade RAM to 8GB
You will get a laptop with this specs at $1201:
i5-4200M/15.6" 1080p/GTX 850M 2GB DDR3/8GB DDR3L/750GB + 16GB SSHD/DVD RW/Windows 8.1/2.5kg/2 years warranty

For Dota 2 i5 and i7 won't make noticeable difference

It's another worth value laptop based on specs vs price but please take note with i7 you will get a heavier and thicker power adapter
Alternatively top up another $14 to get Aftershock M-15 ($1412 Sitex promotion) with better display panel, thermal paste and mSATA slot
You should hands on with both model first and see which one do you prefer
Compare the display, speaker, keyboard feedback, removable battery, ports etc
