I have few questions. Will I need a CPU cooler, or will the stock Intel i5 cooler be adequate?
Also, with the case I chose, will I need anymore case fans? If there is anything I should change let me know. Remember it's mainly to play LoL on a better computer than my current one.

If you're gaming on this pc, why spend more on the CPU than the Graphics Card? :3

*EDIT*

Nevermind. League of Legends can use some CPU power. Good build :3

Stock cooler is fine for your i5. As long you install it correctly, temps should not be a problem.
The case should come with adequate case fans but you can add more if you feel the case needs more airflow.
It's enough for a Lol pc.

You'll play league fine. 1080p you'll be able to play most titles with a playable framerate. Those 760s are pretty cheap nowadays though

Unlike some here may believe, LOL is more CPU intensive than GPU intensive so your choices are fine except the PSU. The Corsair "CX" series PSU's are made from really cheap low quality parts. Please try to find a better quality PSU for the build. XFX have low cost PSU's that are built by Seasonic as an example.

Besides this one major change you will have selected a really nice rig that is upgradable in the GPU area later on if needed.

Very solid choices.

The 912 is an awesome case, though you do not need the extra 200mm fan. Trust me, even at stock configuration - the HAF 912 has enough cooling.

Asus 750TI - good again. I have Asus 650TI and it is whisper quiet. (they use the same cooler).

ASRock - Im good with it. Don't blame me for being an ASRock fanboy, but they provide good stuff for lower prices.

Now the power supply - well that is a bad choice. Pick one of these instead:

I know the CX is just 30 something bucks, but you never skimp on a PSU. Never! It can go out and take your system. Better 30 bucks now, then few hundred bucks sorry later.

Thanks

P.S
On my 650TI I can Max out LoL with constant 60 FPS+VSync and GPU load is not even a constant 80%. I am using a 1920x1080 monitor. It is a pretty easy game on the hardware.

Shneiky :

Thanks for your answers! I decided on the XFX TS 550W PSU. I guess I'll go ahead and start ordering the parts. You helped a bunch. As well as everyone else.
