I want a low end gaming computer that will last me just this year or so until I buy a much stronger one. I only want to play low end games on this one too, like League of Legends and similar games. This is the best build I could get, cheap and would run what I want. I have absolutely no experience in this though. Do you have suggestions? Will this build work? Will it do what I want? Is there a better/cheaper build to do what I want? Thanks!
