I just play WoW and LoL, what to build?

So, I follow many of LTT videos and love both the insane state-of-the-art-over-the-top-builds and the completely budget ones. The different test also give me so indication of what middle-range PCs can do, however, despite watching the videos Im a bit scared of throwing myself into a build. Both because I dont want to completely overdo the PC but at the same time have difficulty finding out what I need. As the title suggest I mostly play WoW and LoL as a casual gamer to relax in my spare time. I know they are not the most demanding games by any means. I want to play them on high/very high/ultra or whatever the highest settings are to get the best experience of the games. And this is my problem. What kind of system do I need to fit this without going over the top?

I currently play the games on my work laptop (Lenovo Ultrabook X1 Carbon) with the following specs:

- Intel core i5-6300 CPU @ 2.4 GHz

- 8 Gb ram

Intel HD graphics 520

 

1. Budget & Location

My budget is 5000 DKK (app. 800 USD) which should cover everything including the case and monitor.

Location is Denmark.

2. Aim

Play WoW and LoL at maximum settings.

3. Monitors

A good one for WoW and LoL ?

4. Peripherals

I have mouse and keyboard, but need a monitor and a Windows license.

5. Why are you upgrading?

Not upgrading, building new from scratch to substitute my laptop.

 

Any help is very much appreciated!

Since i dont know of any Danish price checking websites, I'm just going to use Komplett.dk for the prices

 

G4560: 469 DKK

Asus H110M-A/M.2: 549 DKK

Crucial DDR4 2400 MHz 2x4GB: 589 DKK

Cooler Master Masterbox 3 Lite: 349 DKK

Gainward GTX 1050 Ti: 1299 DKK

EVGA B3 450W: 460 DKK

Acer Predator XB240H: 1790 DKK

And Windows from Kinguin

 

Went about 800 kr over budget, because I wanted to get a 144 Hz monitor. You can just change the monitor for a 60 Hz one to save ~1000 kr.
