Hello,
I'm looking for help in creating a new setup for light gaming.
Mostly League of legends or overwatch.
Around $1000

My current pc died due to GPU nt working but I'm hoping to recycle some of the parts as well to reduce cost :).

Motherboard- need some recommendations as im not sure about this
CPU- I5-7500 ($400-500?)
RAM- G.Skill Ripjaws V 2400Mhz 8GB(4gbx2) ($109) (Any significant differences between this and kingston value ram?)($85)
SSD- Adding a Samsung evo 850 (256GB)($159), currently have a 120 sandisk ssd in my current rig as well
HDD- will be reusing my 1TB Seagate barracuda
GPU- Looking at Zotac 1050 TI 4gb ($225) Or will 2gb be enough($189)?
PSU- Current rig have Seasonic M12II 620W (Should be transferrable to the new rig?)
Casing- Need recommendations for something nice nice looking haha

No need for windows/monitor.

Hope youguys can help me out! :)

Your nice looking casing is what kind? Cliche gaming theme kind of nice (Corsair Spec Alpha), or minimalist kind of nice (Phanteks Eclipse P400)?

Asus H110M-A will do if aesthetic not important. Otherwise Asus Strix B250F is a beauty to behold. Look at the IT Garage Sales section. Someone selling this set.

RAM choice seems okay, you can buy that, but get 2x8gb instead if can. 8gb will bottleneck sooner than you think. Valueram if you getting H110 coz the supported ram speed is 2133mhz while B250 support up to 2400mhz.

PSU can reuse no issue there.

GPU get a gtx 1060 3gb for $275. Palit StormX.
