So yeah, I have this friend and he wants a low end gaming PC for mostly League of Legends, it doesn't need ultra, or anything like that, just needs to run smoothly on medium/low.

 

So I will give him my old 500w CX PSU, and I will also give him an old GTX 460 GPU.

 

So those 2 things are taken care of.

 

We will get a cheap 30 euro case.

 

A 15 euro DVD reader 

 

But now on to the CPU.

 

Would a 750K be enough? He isn't going to overclock it on a budget motherboard obviously, but would the FPS be okay? Would it hit 60?

 

We also have a 120GB SSD in his build

 

Vendor is this btw: https://www.alternate.nl/Aerocool/V3X-Advance-behuizing/html/product/1090275?tk=7&lk=9285

 

Feel free to build, limit is 300 euro. :P No GPU or PSU needed.

Get a Intel Pentium K Anniversary G3258 OP.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...

Why? Is it better for the price?

It's slightly cheaper than the 750k, has better single core performance and can overclock very well on air - you can hit 4.5GHz with a decent aftermarket cooler.

It's a dual core with hyperthreading btw.

Ok with that said then he only needs the better cpu and you already said he won't overclock.  Also LOL only uses 2 cores.  I would say for this person just get the cheapest cpu of the two and be done with it.  To be honest I really don't like people who build a pc with this sort of mentality that the OP's friend or whatever has but it is what it is.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

Video cards use PCI-Express, while most network adapter cards (that I know) use a regular PCI slot. I'm sure you can tell the difference.

But why ? Since you already have a RJ45 LAN port ? Or you mean a Wi-Fi card ? 

Spoiler

Derp, my bad - i thought it did since it's a Pentium. Seems i was wrong, oh well. Still great for it's price tbh.
