Hello guys, i need some help building a pc for a relevant of mine.

Budget is around 400 U.S. dollars.

The pc will be mainly used with the office suite (powerpoint  and word) and web browsing.

But it should be responsive enough to do those task without hiccups.

No peripherals, monitors or software needed.


Thanks for your help ;-)

If they aren't gaming, this build will be fine; it will run basic things for years and will be pretty quiet.

I recommend to go with this one, heck if they want down the road they could even throw in a dedicated GPU and game on it.

I would also add an optical drive, it's not expensive, and some people still use them.

Yeah, I regret not getting an optical drive for my computer, one day I'll get one.
