Hey guys, I am tired of my old laptop and thinking of buying a new computer. I will be mainly playing one game : League of Legends, and listen to music, watch videos, do homework, go on the radio, etc. This computer is probably fine and capable of doing it but is there any way of making it cheaper or getting more out of what i have? I'm not thinking of playing any intense graphic game like BF4, just want to play League, Tera, and Maplestory all around 60 FPS solid. Thanks.

Very well rounded build but get the 4150 , its cheaper and better.

You might as well get Seagate Barracudda and throw in a SSD however these are just side notes for your very good build.

You dont need R9 280 for leauge. Get a R9-270x or 750-ti and you should be fine. I would grab the Celeron or Pentium Lga 1150 Haswell CPU, save some money. Other than that you should be pretty good.
If you want an R9-280 get it but I would opt for the x model.

The R7 265 I posted in my build earlier is cheaper and faster than the 750ti. The case and PSU are also better as well. For the games you're playing you don't really need an i3, the G3258 would hold up well on its own with an overclock using the stock cooler, and when if you choose to play more demanding games in the future you could later on upgrade to an i5 or i7.
