New mid gaming build

My brother has been using his college laptop for gaming, but now decided to switch over to a desktop computer, so he can use his laptop for just college.

 

His budget is around ~700 euro (no monitor etc, just for the computer)

 

He mainly plays league of legends, fallout etc so he doesn't need a really strong GPU. So I was thinking about the 270/280s or something. and for CPU an i5 (no AMD please).

 

Is it possible to get a decent gaming desktop out of this budget and is someone able to recommend me a build ?

That's a pretty neat build, but a little over budget unfortunately. I would really like a build not more than 750euro (830dollars)

 

Thank you for the build though!

Are you buying it just from one vendor?
