Greetings to you all,

I'm looking to build a mid-range PC that can run League of Legends smoothly at max setting (1080p). As I am not a hardcore gamer but still got the general interest, I just need a system build that can run new games like GTA 5 or Dark Souls series at low setting, or if possible medium with special effects turned off (just to get a taste of things). I plan to get dual monitors as well but only for multitasking purposes, not gaming on 2 screens. Finally, I live in a student hall so a wifi receiver would be necessary as there are no ethernet connection points.

My budget is around £500 and I do not need a disc reader (unless it is compulsory?). I also want to build the system from scratch so any advices would help tremendously.

Thank you all for your help and have a good day. :D:D:D
