Hey guys, So I am a complete noob to pc builds. However, over the past 6 months I've been doing some researh on how to. And as my birthday is coming up in a week, I thought I would finally attempt to build one. However, I'm still oblivious to what's better and what's not. If anyone is willing to lay me out a good build from 500-700 dollars that I could stream League Of Legends and play other games at medium to high settings, that would be great! I still need a hd monitor too. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! <3

That's an $860 build not including storage, which would put it to over $900.... That's a heck of a lot outside of the budget stated above lol

Yeah, that board is fine with that now. When the new FX chips came out, some 970 boards didn't support them, but that was a while ago, and PCPartPicker hasn't changed that notation yet.

You don't NEED one, but I would recommend at least a basic aftermarket cooler, as the stock AMD ones are pretty crappy and loud. The CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 is a decent one that you can find for about $15. I wouldn't do much overclocking, if any, but it will be a lot quieter for you.

The TX3 is only 140mm, and the Solution can fit 160mm coolers, it'll be perfectly fine. PCPartPicker's note is just that it can't verify because it doesn't have the max height listed for the case.

Use this list and go from top to bottom and just get whatever is in stock. RAM is RAM, and as long as you get 1.5v CAS9 1600 RAM, you'll be fine
