new and need some help

A few months ago i got into pcs and pc related things and have been hoping to build my own ever since.

now that i have some money (around about $450 AUS) i would like to create something that will provide the most bang for my buck and gaming capability as possible, im looking to play some casual league of legends with my friends.

here ive linked to pcpartpicker with a list ive slapped together after some research : https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jund%40MaxPowa/saved/#view=Nkc2FT

can someone give me any advice on the list and where to go from here

thanks

I would go for a cheap quad core like a amd 860k, and use the left over money to buy possibly a 750ti, or a r7 250/260.

Also really good, but I would tell Euan that he should give up the SSD for a better GPU, don't you think?

I agree with you, although he seems to want one :D

Then ditch the SSD and get a better graphics card. You are going to be playing only casual games, amIright? :D
If that is the case, you won't really need an SSD, thus a better GPU will boost the performance here and there and you will probablly wont even remember wanting an SSD in the first place :D . I am not saying that SSDs aren't awesome, it is just that it would be better for you to go without one having in mind your location and budget! GGWP

I am done, hope this has better results : http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/wVq7D3

The CX series psus aren't good for gaming pcs, and alot of us like to give it alot of flak since its maximum temperature for its full capacity is a measly 30 degrees celsius. Would go with the vp500p or strider essential instead.

Listen to this guy ^ . He seems to know what he is talking about. To be honest I got into PC building about 3-4 months ago, at my free time I watch videos about GPUs, CPUs, MoBos and all other PC components so I don't really have that much experience. Thanks for the feedback tho, I will take it in consideration in my next attempts in constructing a PC ! :D:)

i would, but the cheapest quad core that isn't the athlon 5350 would have resulted in him getting an r7 240/gt 730, so i went with an apu instead.
