If playing dota 2, internet and movies, then your current rig is still good. If die die wan change, den get a new GPU. power colour 7870 myst @$292. This should be more than enough.

By right, your ssd shld help improve in web browsing. But, another factor which will affect a lot would be your internet. Try go for wired connection and test other videos. If they run smoothly, then there is some optimisation problems with that video.

GPU is just for games nia.

BTW, how you get 6GB ram? Your mobo has triple-channel ram slots?

upgrade ram as in upgrade to a new version ram? or just use back the same series of the 6GB i have?

Add on. Make sure the rams are same series.

If u want, u can change to new rams also. Make sure ur mobo can support the freq of the rams n the max amt of ram it can support.

But rams are kinda expensive now. Lol.

Changing your mobo and cpu or memory won't make your internet browsing speed increase...
