Total Novice when it comes to building PCs, but I already have quite a few parts and need your help completing the build!
Post Body

**EDIT: Just bought this Power Supply on Newegg for $34.99 after rebate.

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

  • I would like to play LoL at 60fps. Additionally, ability to run Photoshop would be a plus. Microsoft Office use and remoting into work computer.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

  • Under $250 would be great!!

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

  • ASAP

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

  • I have tower, OS, Office, Monitor (although, I think it's only VGA), Keyboard, and Mouse.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

  • I'm in the USA and within a 15 minute drive of both Microcenter and Frys.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

  • CASE: NZXT CA-S340W-W1

  • GPU: ASUS R9270-DC2OC-2GD5

  • Processor: Intel Pentium G3258

  • Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC MATE

  • Mouse: Standard Mouse (non-gaming)

  • Keyboard: Pretty standard USB keyboard with two USB 2.0 outputs on both sides

  • Storage: Crucial M500 120GB (I'm pretty sure I would like to do a 1TB 7200 of additional and put OS and LoL on the SSD.

  • I believe those are all the parts I currently have.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

  • No interest in overclocking.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

  • Pretty standard. I've got a lot of parts already and would like to complete the build around them, but not sure what the best completed builds would look like.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

  • Already have a case. Worried about cooling.

Do you need a copy of Windows 7 or 8.1 included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference for one or the other?

  • Already have one (LEGALLY OBTAINED AS WELL!!!!)

Extra info or particulars:

All help is super appreciated! This is my first build and I'm very excited but extremely worried about mucking it up.
