Hello, I'm in need of a new computer as my other one just isn't enough for me anymore. My budget is $750 CAD, and the site needs to be able to send parts to a postal office box. My aim is a computer for League Of Legends, and Minecraft. Thats pretty much all I play. I already have a Monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I also have 8gb of memory that I can use.

IMPORTANT: I run at 1650x1050 resolution, have 8gb of memory, and I won't be in need of a huge storage device, a 120gb will be fine. Need a O.S.

Id lose the ssd and step up to a 280, yeah its overkill...but still things change and Id rather have a high end gpu and the option open then a shitty gpu and have to upgrade if I want to step up to more demanding games. 

Also add a Hyper 212 since the amd stock cooler is crap.

If others want to draw up a partlist, let them. It is beneficial for OP.

 

Microcenter disabled their shipping to Canada. If you use NCIX, use canada's version because price varies depending on location. Assuming you didn't, the prices from PcPartPicker isn't indicative of the estimated price for OP.

 

@OP,

Though, you're only playing LoL and Minecraft, I do not suggest only having a 120 ssd for storage. SSD isn't necessary unless you want faster load times after champion select or boot times of your computer.

Since OP's budget is around $685.24 USD.

With this budget, I would not opt for an fx-8320. A more balanced build would revolve around fx-6300. 

My suggestion is to get an fx-6300 CPU with a 970 motherboard. Swap out the r9 265 for a 270 and overclock it.

 

If he does stays with the 8320, he shouldn't overclock his CPU with the stock cooler and PSU at 500W.

A SMART PERSON! 

Also the budget was $750 or did I mis a currency change?
