Due to my current situation where I live in and my current status, I can only shop through Amazon and must be able to ship outside of the US. (it sucks)

Im just looking for a cheap gaming pc that can run League of Legends at max settings with a good fps right. I do other games too from time to time, but my computer atm can hardly run other games, ive got to lower the resolution all the way down, and even then, its not a smooth gameplay.

Atm im running 6BG of ram and a 2.80 Ghz processor, and a G45/G43 chipset graphics card
I run the smoothest at everything very low and no shadows, fps of 60 and drops time to time to 40-50s. thank you

If you willing to pay a bit over budget this is a great gaming rig:

Future proof for the games that you are playing, and upgrade-able if need be.

Most of these parts can be found on Amazon for just a few bucks more.

And if you NEED to decrease the price, you could go with a smaller storage device

Actually the ram on amazon costs 78 Dollars so you'll have to deduct 18 bucks from the total making it 505.23 dollars.
