LoL is not very demanding by todays standards. you will have plenty of power. as for streaming, it will mostly soak up cpu power.

is this fx4300+r7-240 a build that your thinking about buying? what are the specs of your computer right now?

if you just want a basic computer that will play moba games maxed out, and even new titles on 1080p@medium....

assuming you can re install windows, you might not need the computer case or the optical drive, or even the hard drive. without knowing the exact model of your power supply its hard to tell but unlikely.

Why would you go with a GTX 740 mate, any graphics card below a GTX 750 is not suitable foe gaming.

if i were you i would buy other build only for league of legends....
i3 4150
gt 740
4 gb if you want only to play lol and 8 gb if you want to play other games too
cheap 500 watt psu or a real power 400 watt psu


i have a 500 watt psu cheap one, not certified.
I have a 5 year old computer that never failed once when it came to the power supply, do you think i could use this on that build?that is, if it has enough watts and what not. or is it too old?

Oh thanks OptimusPavlos for reminding me. Streaming will most likely reduce the average frame rate by about 10-20FPS according to my estimation. Sorry I don't stream games.

Joe is right however on small rigs streaming takes quite a bit out of a system so I am not to sure about streaming.
