OR since you won't be overclocking, you can go for a lower tier/more basic PSU, keeping you closer to budget

Did not forget, OS/peripherals/monitor was not stated as needed, Best to go windows 8 64bit to make but some prefer windows 7, prices vary from diffirent regions and often cheaper in local stores
This build can play many high end games, League of Legends had very low requirements, will need to downgrade the CPU to keep the OS in budget, $500 doesn't make for much for a gamer specific build unless you sacrifice future upgradability
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($99.98 @ OutletPC)

This will still max out LOL at it's 60fps cap on max video settings
(I play LOL too and honestly don't see a difference between 60fps and 580fps my system is capable of on 120hz monitors) (when cap is unlocked in LOL settings)
