Would i need cooler - and what power supply to use - and how would i get one hdmi port and few more usb ports
 

Just go with my build. It is perfect for your needs. This computer can even play Battlefield 4 smoothly at your screen resolution.

With this build, you should get more than 150+ FPS on LoL on maxed settings.
 
Hey Tech - im getting this deal from a seller in my area - should i go for this or make my own - its cheaper for me - hes selling it for 500$

Intel® Core™ CPU 870 Quad Core 8 Thread, 2.93GHz

If you want. The processor is an old i7, although it is still blazingly fast, the graphics card isn't as good. That computer is more suited for heavier tasks than gaming, like rendering or dealing with HD audio and pictures.

Buy it if you want, it's your money anyways. LoL will be very playable at maxed settings.

 
Thanks for the help man

But i need to save some extra dollars im going bit over my budget here - i want it near low 500s - can you please help me make some adjustments
