Check craigslist first before you build one bro. 

A Craiglist rig would be better for AAA gaming, but for light single-threaded gaming like League might as well just build a new one.

Get some second had components. An older quad core will beat a new dual core.

Or you could spend 200 bucks instead of 450

Not in League of Legends (heavily single-threaded)

$60 for a CX500M is an awful price.

And you don't need H97 for G3258, it's also over budget.

Slightly over budget. Make sure to overclock that CPU.

750 ti is perfect

FX for League.... smh

 

 

750 ti is perfect

270 is noticeably better performance for the same price

I tried to get the best of most of the suggested builds and ended up with something very cheap which I think is not that much worse than most of these 450 builds. How is this? Anything to change from this list? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TVh6ZL (I'd rather not have an SSD for this one)

Look at my builds above, and go up a lil from that by getting a 270x or a 280x.

Like I said above, 270 offers quite a bit better performance for just $4 more.
