Help, I'm not very "hardware" savvy

[jakekcbyrne]

So, I've attempted to select all the hardware for a gaming PC that fits under a £500 budget, but with the HUGE selection of graphics cards and Processors, it's proving difficult given the fact I have no idea how any of them perform.

So I was hoping one or more of you lovely people would help me out by giving me a build that fits under my budget and performs nicely for games like Team Fortress 2, Blacklight Retribution and League of Legends. Those are the only PC games I enjoy playing that have the highest requirements for a PC.

I'm not fussed between Intel or AMD same with the graphics cards, I want the biggest bang for your buck, brand or make isn't an issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

EDIT:- Nope no peripherals, already have all that stuff with the PC I'm using now, I can use the HDD from this PC in the new one so no need for that as well. I'm pretty sure if I just plug this HDD in the new PC the OS that is already on it can still be used right? Probably an obvious dumb question if that's the case then it's basically just the Motherboard, CPU, GPU, RAM, PSU and case, pretty sure I didn't miss anything.

Do you need an OS or peripherals (monitor, keyboard mouse)?

This will work if you have a Retail Copy of Windows you can reinstall, if its an OEM version (eg. one which came preinstalled on a computer) then you will need a new copy with the new machine unfortunately. With a budget of only £500, the difference of £79 for a copy of Windows will make a lot of difference on your components.

You'd have to reinstall the OS (as Kruppsy says, if you have retail copy, an OEM won't work), you wouldn't be able to just plug the HDD in and have everything up and running.
