Brother Office PC build

Budget (including currency): 500$ US

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: He is just gonna use it for standard work uses but I was thinking maybe making it able to do some light gaming

Other details I have a small form factor ASUS gtx-750 I'm gonna throw in there

My brother wants me to build him a pc as a wedding gift. He is gonna be using it for standard office work and he also needs a monitor as well. I would prefer it to be small form factor but that is not a necessary feature just a wanted one. He isn't a big gamer so that isn't a big priority but would be cool if it could. I have a 1TB hard drive that I know works so I was gonna get a SSD for a boot drive. I don't know much about lower end budget builds so that is why I am asking for help.

 

Thank You!

Better Video Card, plus the system doesn't suck that much power.

With SSD boot

by spending money on an old, low-end 120GB SSD that was under a bait-and-switch scandal while costing more than 500GB high-end pci-e 3.0 NVMe SSDs, and then spending peanuts for a crappy PSU...
