Fast family computer

[Ganamede]

Hi. I live in the USA. Spending $USD to make this computer. It's for fast internet surfing and for family use (homework, youtube, facebook....)

 

Ideal budget is < $600.

Building it to replace an aging computer tower for my brothers family. It will be a computer tower (I'll probably use the tower and power supply from the old computer -- I believe it's an ATX compatible tower).

No peripherals needed, already have a monitor.

 

I value speed and functionality. I would like for this computer to have an ssd (atleast), and to use ddr4 (for faster web page loading?), and to have 5ghz internet. I'm a noob (though my first build was an i9 9900k, 14 cas ddr4, M2, rtx 2060 build (with liquid cooling) ) (I love this computer ) Anyways, I would like to hear which processor you think is best. I would go with Ryzen for the pricing, I even initially thought of buying a Ryzen 2700k processor for it, but that might be major overkill.

 

Looking for a cheaper processor/motherboard that can whiz through internet pages and can load applications fast - that could display 4k youtube videos (might upgrade the monitor in the future). thx in advance.

You'll also need an OS. But you can get Windows 10 for cheap on the grey market.

I don't actually know. My brother said that he was gonna bring the computer by later today. It may even have an older video card in it, but I still don't know yet.

[Ganamede]

I'll post an update when I find out. But I know the HDD on it is toast or some of the other hardware was failing.

[Ganamede]

Well, he didn't bring it by. I'll look up those components tomorrow I guess.

the pc is for web browsing  and light usage? a ssd & 8gb ram with any pc will do.

what about some prebuilt pc for cheap?
