I want to be able to run League of Legends and CS:GO on the highest settings, with constant 60 FPS. I want to be able to have the PC on for endless (6-12) hours with minimal damaging. Something that I will be able to use for at least 3 years. Doesn't have to be a gaming PC. Just a PC that meets the needs of the above. I could go up to $500. I prefer you show me all the parts, i.e., I can simply buy the parts and make it from there; no additional searching and buying.
Help put together a ~450 gaming PC (or normal)

Microcenters are just big computer part stores that often have the lowest prices anywhere but anyways:

500 minus 100 for the OS really doesn't provide a lot of working space. Lots of compromises had to be made. This build that I have suggested will actually preform quite well assuming you have a relatively low resolution monitor (720p-ish). You could probably max out most games at that resolution, but can't say the same for 1080p.
If staying under 500 is a must, you can consider getting a smaller hard drive, a cheaper case or even skipping the optical drive (you can reuse your old one). Worst comes to worst, you might need to downgrade some of the core components a notch or two. Just keep in mind that the 7770 is on sale and a very good deal right now. Not to mention you get a free copy of Far Cry 3
! Going to the 7750 won't yield a significant amount of money saved.
