I do recommend a 6600k + Z170 for it to stay relevant for a longer time.

this is a cheap alternative that can handle league no problem
tho idk about the other builds since i did not keep up on hardware for like a year or two cuz was busy trying to stalk Abduck

Oh yeah go for this build.
Then you will have an outdated build from day one

it's for league of legends, you don't need much to play league
i wouldn't spend more if i was playing only league since a potato could max league.

League is changing constantly. It could change at any moment into a game that he has no interest in playing. Source: I played LoL almost every day since 2010 until about 3 months ago.

Why not have a PC with some flexibility if it's within your budget?

can a 960 even use 4g of vram?

Probably, but they're like 3.5 + .5 aren't they?

Not an issue with League.

What IS good about that build is that, down the road...he can just drop a 6600K or a 6700K in there.
