New Computer Questions

Hey. I'm planning to get a new computer (desktop) and just have some questions. My budget is around $500 (600 with tax). I'm not really going to be using it for gaming much, mostly just surfing the internet, music, etc. I cannot build a computer so please don't suggest. I'm looking for a reliable brand(?) that will last me atleast 5 years. (brands as in HP dell lenovo etc) -Which brand is the most reliable / durable (I know that could be an opinionated question so what's [i]your[/i] opinion on which is the most durable / reliable?)

I know most of the computers <$500 come with graphics card that are something like intel XXXX HD which I think is integrated graphics? I know integrated graphics is pretty bad but how will it do for playing a game like League of Legends(planning to start with friends). Also, are you able to upgrade integrated graphics(I heard you can't)?

For wireless adapters ( for the computer to get wireless internet ) does it matter if you get a cheap / expensive one? Does getting a more expensive one make your internet go faster?
And last question a bit off topic but does anyone know a free ipod --> pc program that keeps the play counts? (Yes they matter to me ._.)

Thank you
