I have around £500 to spend maybe more but i dont know what to choose - like parts etc. could someone help me please? :3

The type of games i'd like to play are:
GTA 4 and 5
Left 4 dead 2
League of Legends (Higher fps)
And guildwars etc =3

Well i'm thinking of getting a summer job so i could definitely increase my budget to around 600-700. i wont be needing a mouse or keyboard or an operating system (as i have a spare legal copy). So the money would just be only for the tower. Thank you for your suggestions so far though - i'm very clueless with these things and i don't want to hassle my friends :S
 
An extra £200 will pay for a monitor, although a 1920 x 1080 TV will works just as well, and an upgrade to a i5 K CPU.

I would defiantly come back and post again before buying as prices and part are likely to change before then.
