I'm looking for a build between $600-800. I need a cd drive, decent amount of storage and monitor. Please use pc-part picker if you can and request more info if needed. I don't need a floppy drive. This is for gaming, going to be playing LoL.

Nvidia currently doesn't have anything in that performance level, 270x even beat the GTX 760 in the recent THG R9 285 review. The GTX 760 costs more. The GTX 750ti is slower and cost is similar to the 270x. The R9 280 is the next step up in performance, and a good jump too. It also costs less than a GTX 760.

This will easily handle LoL, and even do well in other titles as well.

Forgot the mouse and keyboard. :)
550W just isn't enough for a 280X,it's a card that eats a lot of power(at loads ofc). :)

Will game online much better than the dual core intel , and roughly the same as the intel quad in all the intensive games like BF4 , Crysis etc etc

The intel would be better at starcraft and skyrim , but not so much you would notice

I guess you have $44 to choose a mouse and keyboard

Also, all in all even my original rig was overkill for just LoL. :lol:
