I am building a gaming computer that i wish to use to run games like L.A. Noire, Mortal Kombat 9, and League of Legends. ill play them on any graphics but i would prefer medium to high settings. I am starting from scratch and all i have is a monitor and a mouse. I would need to know all of the parts i would need. I would prefer it if someone could make a build for me from pcpartpicker I have almost no experience in building computers so any help would be greatly appreciated.

These builds can play your games more than fine, and even many newer ones at good FPS/settings.

Please help us help you better. I took the liberty of asking pretty much any question that I could come up with for assisting with a build. If there are any questions that I might have missed, please feel free to let me know so I can add them to my list. By answering this list I hope to help cut down on builds and/or components that do not cater to you. And hopefully aid you in getting better answers to your question quicker. And thank you for providing any of the answers to these questions already.
1. Do you need a keyboard?
2. Do you need a mouse?
3. Do you need a monitor? (If you already have a monitor/tv, what type is it and how many hz is it?
4. Do you want a blu-ray drive, dvd/cd drive, or no drive?
5. Do you prefer Intel or AMD processors?
6. Do you want to be able to overclock the processor?
7. Do you prefer NVidia or AMD graphics cards? (NVidia cards are a bit more expensive for a similar frames-per-second, but you also get PhysX if you care about that)
8. Do you plan on overclocking the graphics card?
9. Do you want to have more options for upgrading later on, such as adding extra RAM or running multiple graphics cards together?
10. What operating system do you prefer, Windows 7 or 8.1, or Ubuntu/Linux?
11. Does your budget include the operating system?
12. Do you prefer air cooling or liquid cooling?
13. Is there a particular case size you would like to go for, mid tower, full tower, etc?
14. Is there a particular theme or color scheme that you prefer, or a particular style case? (Please give a few examples)
15. What is your budget, minimum and maximum costs?
16. What sort of games do you want to play? (Please give plenty of examples)
17. What settings, fps, resolution do you want to play those games at?
18. What country do you live in, so we can know what currency and/or sites to link for you?
