Help with pc specs

[Vainix]

Hello!

I am planning to build my little cousin a computer. He is mainly going to be using the internet and internet-based games (e.g Cool math games, Nitro type) I do not know what specs to do. He won’t be playing video games just the online games. I also need it fast enough for his parents to purchase products and surf the web. Appreciate all the responses.

buy a prebuilt for this as it'll save a lot of money.  a used workstation goes for under 300 something with 8-16gb of ram and a previous gen upper end xeon will do fine theres a million of them on ebay

I don’t want it to be a used product. It will be a gift for his birthday. I also want something that i built for him.

just keep in mind that a low cost new machine will be slower and use far cheaper parts than a previous gen high end machine. also keep in mind that your listed requirements are so light that most any computer from the past 9-10 years will be able to do the tasks you mentioned.

start off with a budget so people can assemble something around that , although again i wouldn't be spending to much on this build

You should read the sticky labeled "read before posting" for the section you posted this in. You're missing pretty much every piece of key info we'd need.
