Hello i am thinking of making my first computer.
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a build for a person who likes to play games like League of Legends, H1Z1, and Hearthstone.
I am willing to spend about 600-1000 USD not including the OS because my friend has one that i can use possibly.
Much appreciated!

Things to note

1.) The 290 will run much hotter & consume more energy.

2.) The build with the 290 omitted a solid state drive from the equation. The lack of would leave your build, overall, feeling a lot slower.

3.) The 290 build also presented you a 4460 as opposed to a 4590. Minor benefits not felt by anything aside from synthetic benching. Though the 290 build gave you a Z97 motherboard which would provide upgrade options down the line, to a degree. It is however a very poor Z97 motherboard with few weak power phases, and very poor heatsinks. If overclocking isn't a concern, the H97 suggested is much better overall. Even if overclocking were a factor, you'd get a very minor one at that from the PC Mate.

I'll do a suggestion without monitor, keyboard and mouse if that's ok. (Nvidia GPU, because League of Legends is optimised for that).

Would it be better saving an extra 100-200 dollars for that build or will this suffice? How much FPS would I lose? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/QJmNbv

In fairness, that is quite a poor build. It's a good downgrade in performance for 100-200 dollars cheaper. The motherboard is poor, the PSU is ok but very very mediocre. The CPU is good for overclocking but on that motherboard shouldn't be overclocked on as you'll overheat it. No VRM cooling.
