Answer 1

It will do exactly what you want there is no need to add/change anything unless you plan on playing other games, for example you think you may want to play the new battlefield 4, in which case i'd get the hd 7870 or the 7950.



but if your going to stick with league then what you have will be more than enough.



An SSD is always a nice upgrade and you will get some really nice boot up times and fast load up times from the apps you put on it.



it is about another $100 so you could wait a bit and ad an SSD as an upgrade later.



i hope this helps.

Answer 2

These specs are pretty good, and good prices. You should be able to play the latest games on medium to low settings (depending on intensity of the game). The only thing I would do different (as I am a gamer myself) if I was building a budget PC, is lash out another $100 - $150 and get a better graphics card. A SSD would help boot times, but you'll notice a much bigger difference with a better gfx card.

Answer 3

I would get the fastest graphics card (fastest GPU clock speed if possible), you might need to research a few brands specifications to find out which one is the best to play games on medium to high settings.

Answer 4

Good parts at a fair price. You might think about adding an SSD.
