On it again, help me with my build!

[PCMasterRaceDude]

Okay,

So I am hooked on building PC's. It is so much fun! This is the cheapest PC build I could find that can run League of Legends, Counter Strike GO, and Age of Empires II (which is all I need it to). How did I do?

Looks good for a $450 build, although I'd step down on the PSU to say an Antec VP-450 or similar Seasonic model if you want to stay with Seasonic. Your build won't draw nearly enough power to bother spending over $60 on a 520W PSU (unless you're spending the extra to get a modular PSU?):

Actually I plan to upgrade pieces here and there in the future so I figure I'd might as well get the nicer PSU for now- as well as I do not like dealing with non modular.

I already have an aftermarket cooler purchased- was going to put it on my build but fan is too small. It'll go on this one.. BUT, I need a motherboard and GPU that can support up to a 980. It would be his birthday present next year or something.

Alright, then I wouldn't change anything. Just keep in mind if you want to put something like a GTX 980 in it, then you'll probably want a better CPU too later on.

The motherboard isn't a significant factor for supporting CPUs and graphics cards (with this current generation of Intel boards) unless you look at multi-GPU setups and/or overclocking, so your current board is fine even with say a 980 and an i5 or i7.

Motherboard and GPU to support a 980? What's a 980?

Do you mean motherboard and PSU to support a GTX 980?

If so, then the Seasonic 520W will be plenty. (I'd make sure I could run a GTX980ti at least, just in case the 4K gaming bug bites)

Yeah CPU is budgetary for now. We'll upgrade as we go along! Okay, gonna get this build. Brother will be psyched!
