    Lan Box build

    So I'm looking into building a LAN box, i will mainly use this computer at work from Mon-Friday and then take it to one of my buddies houses on the weekends to game on. I already have the case picked out i just want some opinions on the best parts that i can get for my budget. My budget is 700$ and thats for just the tower, no monitor(s), keyboards etc.

    This is the case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-030-_-Product

    Budget - 700$
    Resolution - 1920x1080
    Games / Settings Desired - The games i play arnt very graphic intensive (WoW, SC2, LoL) But i might play some graphic intensive games later idk.
    Any other intensive software or special things you do - Not really, i usually have a lot of applications running at work but nothing crazy.
    Country - United States
    Parts that can be reused - None
    Do you need an OS? - No
    Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? - No

    Thanks guys!

    What kind of games are we talking about? You are looking for more cpu intensive (mmo's), gpu (shooters) or more like a balanced build all around?
    Also do you need an o/s in that budget?
    Do you have any parts you can re-use? Like an hdd for storage, an OD?
