Hi,

So I'm trying to build a budget all around pc that can run league of legends smoothly and nothing more, as I don't play a lot of games and just want a decent pc for all around use.

Here's my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zjcYCJ

I'm not familiar with PSU's and motherboards so I don't really know what I am doing hehe

If possible I'd like to lower the price of my build, but I'm not sure what is necessary and what can be changed(please suggest some good alternatives)

Pretty much all input about my build in general would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Also, preferably I'd like some good peripheral recommendations(keyboards, mice, etc)

SFF with a good upgrade path. H97 board supports the Broadwell gen when it is released, PSU provides power for any GPU on the market. If you wanted to save money you could replace the CPU with a Pentium G3258, an overclockable dual core CPU that lacks hyper threading compared to the i3.

CPU: Intel Core i3-4160 3.6GHz Dual-Core Processor ($108.99 @ NCIX US)

yes thats true he can get cheaper GPU

But what is wrong with a case i looks good to me, cable management holes, tool-less HDD installation, 3 pre-insatlled fans. If it was 60$ there would be better cases but its on sale from 60$ to 20$ how can you not like that

by the way, I also have a question about PSU and CPUs: how do you pick them? like wattage and stuff, AMD 4300 vs intel

I think 750w is a lot, but I know nothing so I'm just curious :p

thanks, I'll check it out :D

also, say I decided to go with the amd 6300 or 4350 and wasn't planning on overclocking it

would a cheaper motherboard be better?
