Overclock the CPU to 4.0 GHz or higher. It can accomplish this with stock cooling. The motherboard I included is capable of getting the G3258 to 4.5 GHz.

Thanks for the share man. I was looking at this and everything looks nice, but would I need a bigger processor than a dual core now-days? If I were to upgrade the duo to a quad or six core being possible? Or would it break over the 700 limit?

If so that would be fine, I'd be more comfortable with a quad or at least a six core processor for over 700.

Look into buying an OS from (reddit-software swap) for $10-$20

Monitor is overclockable; You can overclock the CPU in the future as well.

Optical drives are for old people.

Nice, I'll take some time to decide on these... looks good.

you have less graphics cards power, but if LoL is as demanding then DOTA 2, it won't matter.
windows doesn't fit, unless you are a student, try to get it for free from school or buy it from the school's library for cheaper.
you could always get ubuntu or steamos, if there's a version of your games that you play until you can buy it or you could try windows 10 if you feel like it ( http://www.cnet.com/how-to/where-when-and-how-to-get-windows-10/ ) and buy windows 8.1 or buy windows 10 when it's no longer a trial.

Thanks for this, I'll take some time to decide now. I will most likely be buying this one or the one above with possibly some alter changes.
