Welcome to September’s first build!
This is the build for those of you who want to play games on a budget. Ideally we will be wanting 1080p at as high a frame rate as we can, but we’ll need to cut some corners to get close. As always with a gaming rig, we want to pump as much money into the graphics card as we can. It is the most important component for getting the best frame-rate we can achieve. This rig is perfect for playing League of Legends, DotA 2 and a lot of fairly graphically intensive games that are surprisingly manageable at such a low budget.
With that lets get on with the build:

Conclusion:
These parts should give you a solid system, with a little overclocking you can do well with this rig, and the graphics card will definitely be able to keep up 1080p at 60fps, though maybe you will have to compromise and turn down a few settings.
