Was wanting to know what pc is better? The one that i plan on building with these parts 

http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/MPkfsY 

 

 

Or the one i can buy from the store?

My budget is $800NZD so just want the pc to be able to run league of legends, Black ops 3, Runescape NXT on decent graphics maximum if possible around this price range

your PC would probably do about the same, and you can upgrade that CPU pretty easy to something better when you have the money :) 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

You might as well buy the pre-built though I don't like the 4300 chip.

At least when some more money comes your way you can get a better FX chip.
Neither system comes with windows or an SSD. Something to keep in mind.

the one you can make, the only real thing the other PC has going for it is the fact that it has a snasy case :P and if you go with the one you build you can easaly swap out the processor for something like a I5 6500 when you have the cash, or even an I3(dont know what the Skylake I3s are called lol) and that would make it way better :)

To Note, I can run League at 60fps on a APU hosting  Intel HD 4000 and RS3 in mid.
So, it doesn't take much to run those two games.

Neither system will really "start up quickly" because you're missing an SSD which makes a huge difference on boot and load times.
But, it'll support your gaming needs and will run smoothly enough for what you need it for.

How much would a good ssd cost?

Used one is like 35 cents per gigabyte, it should be all fine for your needs. And SSDs are pretty solid so just make sure no one used in some all time rewriting data scenario..

I need S340. But more Define S'ish

Would this be a good choice for an ssd?

Yes, it has solid Read and Write speeds 4x faster than a disk drive and Kingston is a great brand.
I use a 128gb SanDisk and after full updates and driver installs as well as apps and clients (RS, LoL, Steam, etc),
I still have 80gb of free space to download something like Blops3 and a few other games.
The prebuilt comes with a TB HD which is perfect for mass storage.
