Hello, I'm building my first gaming PC and it will be strictly for League of Legends. I was hoping to get some feedback on the parts that I've chosen. I do not plan on overclocking and plan on building my PC in 2 weeks or so. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.

I'd go this route
 
Solution


May I ask why you're choosing that CPU over the i3? I thought the i3 was better.
 


Likely because the G4560 offers very similar performance for much cheaper, so you can spend the budget elsewhere. Edited the build with an RX 580 4GB for a few dollars more since it's stronger and not so lacking in VRAM, easily capable of High/Ultra in most games at 1080p although your CPU would be a let down in a some games that are CPU intensive like Battlefield 1 for an example. Just a final note, only a 120GB SSD? That's not going hold nothing unless you have a spare HDD to put in it. If you don't have any HDD lying around put the Caviar 1TB from the original back in, get an SSD with a good size later.

He said the PC would be only for LoL that SSD leaves plenty of room for the specified task. If he needs more later a hard drive is a simple add on. I thought about a 580, but heck it's lol a smaller card is more than enough. The 580 would be better if he stepped up his gaming
