SFX build for my GF

XenosTech

So I wanna upgrade my cpu to the 6700k to give me some more processing power for when I'm experimenting with my vm lab from time to time so I can have more vm's running at once.

 

She's getting my current cpu which is the 6500 but I really don't know what to buy from there. I just wanna give her a system that she can play LoL on since that's the only game she consistently plays and has fun and won't even look at the other games in my steam/origin or uplay library.

 

System just needs to be cheap (don't ask for a budget, just gimme parts to chose from) and include a monitor and speakers.

CPU: Intel i7 7700K | GPU: ROG Strix GTX 1080Ti | PSU: Seasonic X-1250 (faulty) | Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB 3200Mhz 16GB | OS Drive: Western Digital Black NVMe 250GB | Game Drive(s): Samsung 970 Evo 500GB, Hitachi 7K3000 3TB 3.5" | Motherboard: Gigabyte Z270x Gaming 7 | Case: Fractal Design Define S (No Window and modded front Panel) | Monitor(s): Dell S2716DG G-Sync 144Hz, Acer R240HY 60Hz (Dead) | Keyboard: G.SKILL RIPJAWS KM780R MX | Mouse: Steelseries Sensei 310 (Striked out parts are sold or dead, awaiting zen2 parts)

doubling the price puts it at $700 then I factored in shipping and possible duties for various parts, so $900-$1000

Does no retailer ship these in so you can buy them locally?

I'd have to be stupid to buy locally lol

https://www.bajanbestbuy.com/cat/graphic-cards these are the cheapest prices around for gpus or cpu (just divide the prices by 2 to get the USD price)
