It has a 256GB SSD though but SSD's are a lot faster. Also the GTX 960M would be very very good for Dota 2. You could probably max out the game at 1080p resolution with 60fps.

If you need more space:

GTX 950M is more weaker but should still be enough for Dota 2 as well as other games. You also get a 1TB HDD.

Basically the same Dell Inspiron 7559 as linked above, but with a 1TB hard drive instead of a 256GB SSD, and slightly lower price; $780.

I find that a 256GB SSD is too small for my personal needs. This one has double the capacity you are looking for and you can always replace the 1TB HDD with a 512GB / 1TB SDD in the future if you want to save up money to do so.
