Pretty much the same build, but only costs 434 pounds. I try to steer clear of going used with computers, but it's your call.

Those builds are good, solid builds. The 7770 will run much more than League of Legends too.
But keep in mind that you will need to build this from scratch, and if you're un-experienced, that it won't be too easy the first time.
Plus there is the risk of while installing parts, you could break something, or you might even get a dud part.

You're asking for the cheapest way possible, but what is your TRUE budget?
The people here could help much more.
 
The build you put together would be really good, just keep in mind about an OS.

And building your first time isn't difficult at all, there are a ton of step by step videos online, and as long as you take your time and follow them, you won't have any problems.

Would be good to have a number you're looking to stick to though :) lol
