For Grandma lol

[Razzaa]

Need some suggestions for a build for grandma. She reads the news online and uses Facebook. Budget is as cheap as you can get and no more than 300$. Would like all parts from NCIX in Canada please. Dont need monitor, mouse, keyboard or an OS.

Thanks and this should be funny.

Apu, 4gb ram and some other cheap stuff should do the trick

I mean, it's not terrible. The only real flaw with that is that your grandmother could have easily saved $100 by using /u/TheSLSAMG 's rig, and could have bought a copy of MS office with her savings(although, I'd personally recommend some, erhm, "alternative" acquisition methods).
