Hello everyone. I'm a simple fellow who's looking to build an easily upgradeable, budget/middle class gaming PC. I went off a build that was well liked here by Lunyone, and kept some of the things I already had. Here it is:
Rosewill REDBONE U3 Black SECC Steel USB 3.0, eSATA, 3x 120mm Fans Mid Tower Computer Case

ASRock Z77 Pro3 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9D-8GAB

Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

GIGABYTE GV-N650OC-2GI GeForce GTX 650 2GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Intel Pentium G860 Sandy Bridge 3.0GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80623G860

LITE-ON DVD Burner - Bulk Black SATA Model iHAS124-04 - OEM

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM

And there you have it, ladies and gents. So, is there anything I should change? Anything that would be cheaper and still have optimal performance? Oh, and for something to go by, I want to run League of Legends on maximum settings with 60 fps. Thanks!

I rather get also the nzxt case.

7850 2GB for more graphics power (650ti has better price/perf for its own performance level)
Slightly faster CPU with Ivy arch
Slightly cheaper ram
1tb HDD for better price/perf
* Antec Neo Eco has a $20 MIR from newegg to come out $10 cheaper than the Corsair (only shows up on newegg and not pcpartpciker)

This is about 600$ without mir.
If you can afford to go to 650$, which is the other build, get the i3 : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/AA72
