Can someone give me a PC Part Picker list of parts for a Gaming PC that would be about $400 including the OS and would be able to play games like League of Legends, etc? I'm not looking for this powerhouse PC, I just want a PC to play games like League and do some homework, watch videos, etc. Can someone help me please? :)

$400 gaming machine ready to go is a big ask. League of Legends is thankfully pretty undemanding. With only $400 to play with, you have to cut corners somewhere.
You can drop to a smaller HDD or less ram, but you destroy your value/money ratio as 1TB and 8Gb offer a good sweet spot.

1 AMD APU build. You can always slot in a graphics card later on, but it'll work fine out of the box. The case is junk but if you have to save money somewhere, that is probably the place to do it. It exploits a lot of current combo deals and rebates to get the most value.

2 Discrete GPU version. Had to go pretty cheap on the motherboard to get the price down, but it should outperform build 1 for the price as the graphics card is better, and the CPU isn't much worse.

Either works. The first one is better if you intend to spend some more money on it later, the second is probably better if you just want something cheap that'll do the job for a little while without any fuss.
