Hey everyone,

My brother just turned 16 and I want to make him a PC for his birthday.

He plays game likes league of legends, maplestory, and diablo 3. Also an array of steam indie games, but nothing too crazy.

Could someone please make me a build? I've made computers in the past (I'm using one I made for myself) but I don't keep up to date on components... also not good at making builds myself.

It would be great to stay as inexpensive as possible. Just would like to be able to run these games smoothly.

This moves up to the 380x for a slightly worse CPU, however these builds will all be completely overkill for the games he is playing.

This is under $450 and will still get higher FPS than any monitor can refresh at for those games. (For reference, I get around 150-200 FPS on a GTX 650 and an i7-860 which are 4-5 year old parts)

Our original builds will be the best possible computers you can build for 600 dollars, but that is not even close to necessary for these games. The minimum spec is a 9 year old graphics card, so anything in the last few years will get a great framerate.
