I am thinking of building a computer myself and came across this post but I really am a little more set on Intel instead of amd. If I would put a different motherboard and cpu together such as
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115076
MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128502

Would all the rest of the recomended items work with those?

 

[GroundhogEdna]

Or would I also need a graphics card for that cpu? I am only going to be playing League of Legends primarily which requires:

GeForce 8800 or equivalent video card (Dedicated GPU with 512MB+ Video Memory(VRAM))

 

[sosofm]

I choosed those because AMD have a better integrated graphic DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 6530D and is better than Intel HD 2000.
@GroundhogEdna you can use the same parts , change just the mobo and the CPU.
Try to see if it play with with Intel graphic. If not buy a cheap video card.

Why do you need a Z68? Obviously you don't plan to overclock or sli/xfire right, so why not something like this?

Will the graphics be good enough for League of Legends, I have no idea, but you can put the mobo savings toward a video card later on.

You could even drop down to a i3-2120, which will game extremely well, even better than the Phenom II X4's at 3.6ghz.

By the way, you really shouldn't hijack someones thread, you should start your own post. Fill out the new build form in the new build section if you want help selecting components for your use/budget.

Alright sorry I just thought he had a very similar build to the kind I wanted and thank you for the advice and sorry mk.

This is a great build sosofm, thanks a bunch! I'll leave this thread up for another day or so just in case someone else has anything they'd like to contribute to the build or a new one altogether.

Also, the nice thing about Llano's is that they can be CrossfireXd with up to a Radeon 6670, which should give you more than enough power for League of Legends, for $65 if needed in the future.

 

[mk-ultra]

I do have a question though, for the CPU the you suggested ( AMD A6-3500 ) , can I overclock it to 3.0GHz?

 

[sosofm]

This can be overclocked AMD A6-3670K Unlocked http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819106002 but is a little more expensive.
