So my nephew is interested in a gaming pc, but does not really care about playing games at ultra settings. His main thing is he wants to get out of console gaming and into pc gaming. Games such as, League of Legends and titles like GTA 5 and such with a good frame rate.

Can anyone recommend a pc build with a budget of about 400 - 500 dollars?

Would be appreciated. Thanks. :)

LoL can be run on just about anything. GTA V is kind of brutal though.

It would be very hard, if not impossible, to build a PC that can play todays triple A titles with decent looking graphics, and decent FPS. Most of the graphic cards that are needed to play these titles prices start at $400 just for the GPU on its own

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/c6FF99 I'm not sure about the MoBo but it supports crossfire in case you want to crossfire the 260x which is a good reason to choose it over 750ti plus I use the 260x and it works fine with anything I throw at it especially for the price, you can probably get cheaper 1600 speed RAM make sure it is a 2×4GB kit... I just chose the cheapest case....and chose a regular HDD 1TB over a smaller SSD since it will be the only drive
