Scrapyard wars. No other solution.

buy laptop, put in microwave for 7 minutes and GAME ON. But seriously I dont think you need a very good system for this game. You could probably be better off building a home theater PC that has a good GPU in it. Seems like the best way to get some bang for your buck.

Or APU. They're not that great, but they will handle LOL no problem. Or a G3258 + 750 Ti, that should still be enough to play at 1080p 60 fps on more or less medium.

 

I'm actually build a system with a freakin' Atom 330 and something like 750 just to see if it's going to run LoL at reasonable FPS. I'll report back one day.

if it's over budget, start cutting down .. from where ?! take your pick

you also need to take into account k&m, Win licence and monitor

You missed the PSU.

 

An EVGA 500B will be overkill, but it's cheap enough to actually fit.

Bleg, but that´s no fun. And really do report back on that Atom 330 thing, I´d like to know if it will be actually capable of running league. Cause if it is, seriously considering loading Linux onto some $200-$300 phone and playing civ 5 during class.
