    To save some money (or get more bang for your buck) look at PC Part Picker.

    https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/

    You can find a spec you like at one of the builders and look to see if you can save money by sourcing the components yourselves and then building it yourself. However, its not always much cheaper to make it worth it, the bulk buying the builders use means that they may not be that much more expensive. The site only shows components that it knows are compatible - ie, pick a motherboard and it will show the processors that will work with it and so on.

    PC Specialist who i can recommend have their own forum and people on there would reccomend a PC for your needs too.

    That's a superb PC for the money, reasonable dedicated graphics card and a powerful processor. It's difficult to beat Zoostorm for budget gaming PC's, the other options above have weaker processors or graphics card and the Zoostorm is a good longterm solution as well as with that processor you can pop in a new graphics card to keep it a decent gaming PC.

    Or an X box 1
    this is what my son has :) and for a gold live thing go to CDkeys .com as they are the cheapest and have some good offers on

    Neither the Xbox One nor any of the other current consoles can play League of Legends nor Defence of the Ancients 2 (one of the other huge MOBAs)
