Hello friends,

I'm new into this whole business of building your own computer and whatnot so I was wondering if you guys would be willing to help!

This is the situation, I want to stream League of Legends @720 with max settings with above 80 fps (shadows turned off if necessary). I have $735 saved up that I'm willing to invest though it isn't necessary to spend it all if it isn't required. However, it is important to note that I'm starting from scratch, and so I would need basic things such as a monitor and the Windows OS. The only thing I posses are a mouse, keyboard, and a set of speakers. So I would appreciate it if you guys could give me your input from CPU, GPU, etc. all the way to cases, webcam, etc.

I plan to use this computer for League of Legends and League of Legends only (maybe some other small games here and there), so I don't really require massive data space, so please do keep that in mind.

Also, with Black Friday just around the corner, do you think I should wait? Or do computer components not get that much cheaper?

All input is appreciated! If you need any additional information, please do ask! Thanks in advanced.

If your laptop can play it at 60 fps than this will certainly do 80 fps as long as the cpu can keep up. The 4300 is a little light, it's one of the lower end fx-series cpus but that's all I could do with the price range. For a really decent computer I'd recommend at least an AMD fx-6100 and a AMD Radeon 7870. Together these would cost about $50 more than the above build but your computer's performance would be much better. Even just spending $10 more gets you the fx-6100 which is a much better cpu. I still use a Radeon 7850 to play crysis 3 at near max settings @40 fps, but I'm also using it with an fx-8350.

I don't know much about monitors. I typically spend a little over $100 on my 20+ inch monitors and the only thing that looks bad...

probably won't do 80 fps but that's hard to do on any game, espicially with a lower price range. It will do at least 40 fps probably higher, but I don't have any experience with league. You will also need to pick a monitor, and a disk drive (if you need one). Feel free to swap out the case with any other mid atx case, but corsair makes a pretty good case. Could you to save up $100-$200 more? $700 gets a pretty good computer but that doesn't include OS or monitor. If you saved up a little more that extra $ can go directly towards a nice cpu and gpu

League of Legends is a real light weight. Currently, I'm running League on a VAIO Laptop with a bad NVIDA GeForce @ 60fps with most settings on High. Thanks for the input though! I'll look into your suggestions!

Also, what kind of monitor would I need? I'm assuming a really cheap one won't do the trick, right?

I don't know much about monitors. I typically spend a little over $100 on my 20+ inch monitors and the only thing that looks bad on them is uneven backlighting. I'm not really gamer though so I don't care.

I wonder if you could save some money by using 6 or even 4 GB of memory? Typically 8GB gives you a little over 5 more fps over 4GB but since League is so light it might not make a difference. If it's cpu intensive though you'll need 8GB
