Am I looking for the golden unicorn of Computers here?

I'm looking for a new computer, and I'm not looking to break the bank. Before I go make an ass of myself at Best Buy, can you let me know if this is a ridiculous request?

I play LoL a lot, and I'd like that to not be a problem.
At minimum, i'd need MS Word and Excel
Looking to wrap everything up for $600.

And I see a lot of flack given for things like BB and mainstream computers - My current computer is about to explode. So I'd like to buy it and have it tonight. Any help you can offer me is appreciated.

If you want it tonight, you should probably go to retail stores lol.

Best Buy is a terrible place to purchase computers. They overprice their product and their supposed tech support are just people they hired on to look geeky and gave a 2-week-training course on how to power down electronic devices safely. If you want any serious repair work done on a Best Buy product, you have to pay a substantial warranty fee and then wait a minimum of 2 weeks to have it come back from the shop. And that's not all, Best Buy reserves the right to refuse repair work on their product even if you paid for the warranty and will, instead, exchange your old device for a cheaper and older model if you're even lucky enough to receive the same brand!

Most computers will play LoL perfectly fine. I would basically suggest anything with a dedicated graphics card. I had a 2010 lenovo that had like 2GB of RAM and no other specs lol. I was able to play league with 60 fps (on low settings that is). But, I would think anything with a dedicated graphics card would probably get you 60fps on highest settings. Finding things with pre-installed office is probably gonna be difficult.
