Your suggested build is fairly similar to what I use when I play Jungle Taric. Though I do occasionally go full tank in some matches. I say he has no early game damage, but his attack speed is really slow. You can use Shatter to reduce their armor, but you become a little squishier in the process. When I say he has little to no early game damage, I compare to other top laners. Riven's Q alone will out damage you. Jax can too, Renekton can, Talon can, Yi can, Trynd can, the list goes on and on. You have very little dmg in E, I've talked about W already. R can really help in that regard, but I still think you're best off until you get a little in the way of damage items before you comitt to any fights.

As for the computer, I know how it feels. Truthfully, I play on my laptop. It's the only computer available to me outside of college, where LoL is just... no. I find I'm often down to ~5 FPS most of the time. I just brave the really low speed. If I can play well with a crappy computer, I can play well with a good one too.
