League of Legends budget build

[Tr3v_0r]

I'm looking to build my first PC! I only intend to use this computer for league of legends and am looking for a cheep affordable build that will allow the game to run at moderate FPS. nothing crazy! I'm not really interested in upgrading in the future, i just need it to last a year or two. I'm looking for something between $300 - $500. A part picker would be nice as well. I'm new at all this, but i have done some research on CPU's vs. APU's. i was hoping to maybe save a little money by going with an APU. normally i would just try and wing it, but i want to make sure all my parts are compatible and I'm getting the best deal.

Thank you so much!

p.s. no need to include a monitor because I have an HDMI TV that i can use. I will need a Cheep mouse and keyboard though

that PSU isnt a certified one ... and if u are suggesting fx 6300 n 500w is recommendation for r7 250x + room for overclocking fx 6300

 

[-HH-]

Okay, so this is the most upgradeable build I can think of however it does have a price tag. This would be a solid build for 1080P gaming for quite some time however!

lol,Antec vp 450 belongs to teir two,so check out before talking crap.
It can even handle a i5 and a gtx 750ti together,pretty easily.

 

[momo eric]

there are normal ones and vp ones .classification of product under same brand name is done by product serial name . Without mentioning it or giving a valid link , how are people suppose to understand ur wise advice on PSU . and a 450w isnt recommendable for a unlocked process ... intel however have lower power consumption compare to Amd fx series ..so i might be talking crap for some idiot with some knowledge .

The psu i selected is not a normal one,it's VP you idiot,go to the link of pc part picker i provided and click on the psu.
And a good quality 450w psu can't handle a fx 6300? in which world you are,sir?

 

[momo eric]

maybe u heard of word "overclocking" the CPU, i have used before ? a 450w is good enough to run it normally .. when it comes to overclocking i suggested , it will need more extra room of watts ...

My friend,have a look at here http://www.play3r.net/reviews/amd-piledriver-fx-4350-fx6350-fx-8350-shootout-review/10/

FX 6300 consumes of 178w of power while overclocked at 5ghz! at idle,and 347w of,at load,and r7 250x consumes about 80 w of power which still not crossing 430w.And not to forget ,OP Wanted a pc just to play LoL,so it's not necessary for him to do any kind of overclocking,why you no stop already ..

 

[momo eric]

what about the rest of parts(mobo , ram , hDD , optical drive ) .. do they run on magic power . hahahhahaa

Lol,there is no chance for OP to even mild overclock the fx 6300,those temps occured in a fx 6300 of 5ghz.Not every chip can achieve. get over by the pointless arguement you can't win.I selected a good 450w smps considering his needs.

This same question was asked and answered recently.

You'll find some suggestions here that would work well:
