Budget (including currency): 500 if possible
Country: USA
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: work and study very light gaming
Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I have a buddy who needs a new computer to do some remote work as well as study/school work for the most part, if they play any games it'll be old stuff like Asherons Call for nostalgia, would they be better building something cheap or looking for a laptop in that range
