I am looking for a build that will let me play Overwatch/League of Legends at 144 fps on a 1080p resolution with very little frame drop. I already own the Corsair H100i v2 so please build around that. I do not have a set budget, but the cheaper, the better. I would be happy to invest in a 1080 and i7-7700K as long as it stays around $1500-1600 USD, however, I do not want to cheap out on other aspects of the build . As for storage, I plan to get a 250GB ssd and a 1TB hdd. I do not know much about Ryzen, but if someone could explain the pros and cons of Intel vs AMD in my situation, it would be much appreciated. I do occasionally stream LoL for some friends to watch. Sorry if this is all over the place but thank you for any help.

For league a 1050 and an i5 or r5. That game is not intensive and ran on my integrated graphics laptop at 80 fps.

Overwatch 1070, 1600. Overall you dont need to spend 1500 1600 for those 2 games.

Would you like a window(rgb) or no window(a bit more silent).

2 more questions. 

Do you need windows or peripherals included into the price.

1 tb hhd + 256  ssd will it suffice?

I am going to get a nice monitor but that is not included in the budget. I also dont play that many games and the ones i do are mostly free to play.

I would still be happy with a 1070 so if you can make a build that can swap between them that would be great!

Get non free games.

If you want get another version of 1070 or get a 1080

If you want change the storage. You can get a 520gb ssd mx300 instead of the hdd and ssd. 

Windows costs 80 dollars.

You probably need 2 fans as well.

Why do you choose Ryzen? Do you run Ryzen or know anybody that says it is more worth it than Intel

Both, It has more cores and threads than a 7600k. It has a lower average but fps doesnt rise and fall rapidly like on the 7600k. You can get a 7600k if you want tho.
