A friend of mine need to get a PC build as a gift for his brother in the 500$ ~ish taxes and shipping included, so it must be somewhere the 400-450$ before taxes. I got this one but I'm wondering if you have better option. The guy will be mainly playing lol but will also play Civ 5 and other game on Steam

For the AMD build you will not be overclocking at all due to the cheap vrms on the motherboard and no upgrade path. I added an aftermarket cooler just for silence
Here is the Intel build which is more suited for LoL and Civ 5 cause its CPU bound which the AMD in the CPU department lacks here. You can also overclock and also upgrade by getting a used i5 or i7 Haswell CPU in the future.

For both of builds you are not going to use the USB 3 ports at the front of the case stick to the back but you can still use USB 2.
Thanks I think I will go more with that
