Very basic,microsoft documents,chrome,so more cores,more ram

More RAM yes, more cores not really. I'd say a 2400G is more than enough already, get 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD if there's budget you can spend.

Should i just get the cheapest graphics card for an output

Ideally a GPU with decent video decoding capability is still a good idea (otherwise the decoding work will flood the CPU), though many iGPUs of modern CPUs already handle video decoding very well. Graphics cards are only useful when there are over 2 monitors since boards rarely have over 2 display outputs on their own

I think you should rather put the money on strong CPU with integrated graphics

You don't really need GPU

a weak GPU and a strong cpu with no integrated graphics is cheaper than a CPU with integrated GPU.Cause i dont feel like going intel and amd is limited to 2400g or 3400g with integrated gpu

I prefer the 2400G, since the fact that 3600 is too expensive tells me you dont have the greatest of budgets

Check out the Ryzen 1600-AF. It's only 85 bucks, and its basically a 2600. Pair it with a GPU to suit, maybe a GTX 1050

 

You might find this video useful:
