There you have it.  It'll run LoL at the framerates you want considering it's a low power game.  It even has a good extra fan.

how's this? A gtx 760 and an ssd. not bad for a hair over $500. If you want to get below the $500, just get a little cheaper Power supply.

[justin199433]

i would by everything else but the tower seperate

[Fictionvl]

please dont go with AMD, get an i3 instead

[BigDay]

i think this is the best you're going to get. i suggested the r7 370 because it's the newer line as opposed to the 270. small ssd for os storage and some light programs. seasonic psu, which is a great brand and high quality. fractal design case, again, high quality. these items are also on sale.

 

i also suggested the h97 motherboard so you don't have to update the bios before using the computer. that's a pain in the ass if you aren't experienced. everything should plug and play nicely.
