Building my first computer

[northshorepro]

This is my first computer build, is there anything I can do to optimize it? my budget is $500 looking to do some homework and play league of legends on it. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7TvLmG

Any plans to upgrade in the near future?

If you wanted to play more demanding games at higher graphic settings/fps in the future I would upgrade the GPU to a GTX 960 or R9 380 for another $80-$100.

If you wanted faster boot/load times you could add an SSD. The 850 EVO is a decent choice.
