4GB of memory is a bit small. What is the memory usage when you are gaming?

Temperatures are always worth monitoring. If the CPU is throttling that can greatly effect performance. Same with the GPU.

By the specs, you are right, it shouldn't have too much trouble running LoL and Dota2.

Yep, looks like more RAM will certainly help. Your computer is using the page file (virtual memory) a lot and you can see that is also maxing out your hard disk.

Adding RAM will take the burden away from the drive, but you might also consider an SSD if you don't have one.

In the meantime. You can also try uninstalling applications you aren't using, particularly automatic update tools for various common software like Java and Adobe. They use resources for pretty much no reason. Make sure your browsers are closed, etc.
