User blog comment:Braumissomanly/Computers that can run league of legends at a steady 60+Fps?/@comment-5557556-20150311103037

Ok, let me tell you something. I play League of Legends on a 5 years old computer. I turned off anti aliasing and turned off shadows. I turned of anti aliasing because of performance and I turned off shadows because they are annoying. But still with those turned on my PC can run the game in 60 FPS. League of Legends is not very resource intensive game. It is meant to be played even on an old rust bucket.

Now that being said, a 1000 dollars PC is more than enough to handle most of the newest games on maximum settings. When you have such a high budget you don't have to worry about anything.

Also, Civilization 5 is not that resource intensive game either. It is turn based with not impressive graphics. So you also can run it on a rust bucket. The only game that would present a problem for this PC would be The Witcher 3 which has quite steep requirements.

I can give you a few pointers on what to look.

Take at least 8GB of RAM (Random acess memory). That will be enough for years to come. They mostly come in pairs, so it would be 4GB x 2 modules = 8GB

Avoid Gigabyte motherboards because their motherboards in low-mid range are badly constructed. They get too many revisions of the same model. I got burned twice by them.

Take a branded PSU (power supply). That includes Cooler Master, Chieftec, Silverstone, Corsair, Seasonic... Avoid Blueberry, Zito, KME, MS Industrial, KM Power and other Made in China things.

Save your hard drives from your current PC and attach them to your new one. Add one more drive if you need space.

Invest in several additional fans and try to make air flow through your case. It will cool your PC better.

With Graphics card and with Processor you can't make a mistake. AMD or Intel or nVidia. It does not matter, all 3 will run games just fine. Just avoid processors which have integrated graphics inside them (APU and Sandy Bridge I think) since you will be getting a separate graphics card anyway.

If you consider getting nVidia graphics card, look only for GTX cards since they are meant for gaming.

Best of luck in searching for brand new PC.
