The title really says it all. I'm fed up with console gaming and with the next gen coming out I am ready to switch fully over to pc gaming. I am looking for something that can run League of Legends at max settings 60fps as well as stream, skype, itunes If possible. I would like to play other games as well at fairly high settings. If that isn't possible with my price range I totally understand. Just looking for some input as to what I should be looking into for this. As much as I have read into it I still can't quite figure out the difference between AMD and Intel and what will be better for my needs.

I don't need a monitor, keyboard, mouse as I have those already and I won't be overclocking the system.

Without OS/Peripherals. You could get a 120/128GB SSD which would help with loading LoL, but you would have to get a lower end GPU to keep the cost under $800.

Unable to overclock, but the i5-4430 is a strong processor.
This gpu can max out nearly every game at 1080p and high on the higher end games.

Between my build and enemy1g:
-AMD processor and motherboard vs Intel. The FX-8320 is a fairly strong processor, but in single-threaded applications like games, it's not as strong as an i5. You need to overclock the FX to compete against a stock i5, but the motherboard he chose does not allow for much overclock due to the lack of VMR heatsinks.
-RAM is the same performance, except the Crucial one is cheaper.
-The XFX 550w psu is higher quality. The Corsair CX non-modular series use low quality capacitors.

My cousin came up with this for me. Only a slightly bit out of my price range but I should be able to manage. Is there anything wrong with this build?

-I wouldn't go with Socket LGA 1155. It's last gen and old. Go with the newer socket LGA 1150 so you'll have better upgradability.
-The RAM is crazy expensive for what it is.
-The processor and motherboard price is based off Microcenter's in-store pickup only price. If you don't live near a microcenter, it will be significantly more expensive.

Also, you'll be wasting money because that is a overclocking build and you're not overclocking.
