Name says it all

Thats a very vague question, what are you wanting it to do? If all you are looking for is single monitor, flash applications, streaming video. Its fine. You arent going to play any games with it though.

The i5-3570k features Intel HD 4000.

Watching movies, playing flash games and just searching the web it'll do.

As for a gaming GPU it's not going to get you far.

What are you hoping to accomplish on it. For basic internet browsing and watching videos is fine. you can run games on low settings.

Okay, what should I get for the time being since I want to get the 8xxx series that is released next year, but I won't get it straight away when it comes out I will wait for like 3 months then I will buy it. I need a graphics card that can handle dota 2 for the time being until I get the other high end graphics card. If you are wondering what my CPU it is ai5 3570k

Budget?

As cheap as possible

You could pick up something like a Radeon 6670 for under $75 that will play DOTA 2 just fine. Its not going to max the settings or anything, but it will get you by until you have a chance to pick up one that is better.

The integrated graphics is... not good enough.

If you want a temporary solution for Dota 2, look for a cheap ass second hand HD 7750 from someone who isn't using anymore.

You can ask around in tomshardware, many people here came to look for upgrades and don't need their old cards anymore.

If you're lucky they'd let you have it for free, or something better for a small sum.
