Please help a caveman upgrade GPU from Vanquish 2

Hi,

I am a caveman thinking of upgrading a 6 year old GPU from my Vanquish Lv. 2, bought in 2013.

You guys helped me last time with upgrading the HDD to a 1 GB Samsung SSD EVO. It helped a ton with boot time and gaming. I was wondering if you guys could do it again.

I need GPU recommendations based on specs below. I just want the top 3 highest GPU that my CPU can work with (i.e. without GPU being limited by my CPU power, bottle necking???)

I briefly read that a lot of factors are considered (power output, CPU bottlenecking, etc) but I just want to know the GPU options.

I only need it to play Dota 2 on a 1920x1080 60Hz monitor. If the limits are great after the upgrade, I might also upgrade my monitor to a bigger hz. Right now I get 80 FPS on Dota 2 with the lowest settings but it dips to 55 in big team fights (lots of animations with spells, etc). I want at least 70 all throughout and if it's even doable, on better graphics settings[medium or high].

Thanks. Makes sense. I guess I'll have to treat myself big coming holidays season.
