League of Legends Gaming PC £700 budget

Pre built system or will you build it yourself ?
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £595.84
(includes shipping: £0.00)
Haven't played LoL personally so preferably get input on which GPU from someone who has. From what I can tell, CPU-wise, no gains going to i5 from an i3.
Did watch several LoL vids with Nvidia and AMD cards. With a 380 or 960 they generally showed something like 300 fps maxed out @ 1080p, except in battles, where it can dip to anything between 150-200. Based on this, and taking into account recording/FRAPS/computer running other tasks in background, etc, I think spending more for a 390 or 970 would be a bit ridiculous. Maybe a 380X if you want to splash out. Enough room in budget for it, plus additional storage if needed, plus build fee if you want OcUK to build it. All that would take you to about £700.
2GB video memory is absolutely fine for LoL but at this point I wouldn't be buying anything with less than 4GB, in order to cope with other games you might try that do require more than 2GB for decent settings.
When you decide on a spec, I'd post it in the Customer Services forum to ask for a quote.

You can get away with even less than a 380. My 290 seems to bag 300-400 FPS on its own on LOL on an extra widescreen 1080p

A friend of mine runs League on a first generation i7 with a GTX480 maxed out and still gets over 300FPS
