More than enough... to run LoL.

Reise Martin · Sep 23, 2014

TomThePotato :

Can I change any of the parts to get cheaper options to put some of the savings towards the mouse keyboard and headset?

BlueCyberPhantomX · Sep 23, 2014

Reise Martin :

yes, absolutely... get a 970 or maybe even a R9 280X, since you are gonna play MOBAs... and save like 200-300 USD...s

DImitris1 · Sep 23, 2014

this is actually good to play b4 also,as for LoL you can also max it out with an
AMD A10 6800K alone.

TomThePotato · Sep 23, 2014

Power supply could be better. Z97 mobo for a non K version, so you can get a H97 mobo to save money.

Reise Martin · Sep 23, 2014

BlueCyberPhantomX :

I chose the 970 and now am able to get a £155 ben q gaming monitor and a razer naga anything else I could change to free up £188

TomThePotato · Sep 23, 2014

A 970 is about 220 dollars less, but still a good card. Try getting a better psu, the 4690K cpu, and a cooler. The rest should be enough for peripherals.

TomThePotato · Sep 23, 2014

Go for a H97 mobo if you're not interested in overclocking. Also, the sound card isn't needed.

Reise Martin · Sep 23, 2014

As im building on pc specialist Im limited to these motherboards http://puu.sh/bKH7a/a965d24266.png

TomThePotato · Sep 23, 2014

Oh.. If you build it yourself, you can save money.

Reise Martin · Sep 23, 2014

TomThePotato :

Ill do that then xd

TomThePotato · Sep 23, 2014

Total budget is £1245
But I need to spend £155 on a monitor
£100 keyboard
£60 mouse
£15 mouse mat
£70 headset

Higher quality psu allows you to SLI later. Enough money left for a good mouse/keyboard. Change the monitor to whatever that fits your needs..

I really like this setup thanks for taking the time to do that only question is would it be viable to put a 250 gb ssd in instead of the 1tb hdd as I dont need so much?
