How will this PC run games?

[Luikkari]

Hello

My friend is about to order a new gaming PC. We were wondering how is it going to run games so I thought I'd ask here since we don't know that much about parts.

Any thoughts?

Edit: He's going to play mostly League of Legends but there will be some high end games too (In case you want to know).

that parts should do just fine.

it'd be pretty much fine and wouldn't need anything to change but mt personal preference told me to take a 280X over the normal 280!

I also took slightly different RAM, props though, +1

I checked couple Finnish webstores where people order their PCs. There are winter sales going on and even in sale the 280x is like 70 euros more. There's one shop where it's 50 euros more but they're out of the 280xs. The RAM and motherboard both cost 20-30 euros more and his budget was 800, it's 832 euros atm so he can't afford keep adding more expensive stuff, thank you for the suggestion though. Appreciate it

why you do not use the europeen link instead of u.s ???
go back to pcpartpicker and use the europeen link instead ...because not easy for us to build you a rig

 

[-HH-]

Or you could use the US link too?

This hits the budget and works better, in my opinion!

note- The chip and RAM have to be bought together to hit the price of $797.

I live in Finland. Sadly the parts are usually more expensive here than in newegg etc. The motherboard is on sale atm, 97 euros normal price and 86 euros atm. What would you recommend to that price?

I reccommend doing a bit more digging and see if it's more expensive to do that or to ship them... Don't worry, in the UK I look at the USA prices and cry myself to sleep.

I've done digging these last few days, any items that comes to your mind?
