PC for my dad

I want to build a pc for my dad for around 650€ (SPAIN). All parts will be bought in EU. He is the average user,  he checks his emails, he writes some documents and uses internet.

The requirments are:

Intel based

It must be the fastest possible for that price range, therefore, the main focuses are the proccessor and ram. 

It must be able to handle our internet connection so it can take advantage of it  (300Mbps downloading, 30Mbps uploading)

*I don´t consider buying a gpu since I think it would be more than enough with the integrated grapichs. But this is not mandatory. If u think that is better to put a gpu, go ahead.

Thank u so much in advance.

Checking emails, writing documents, and using the internet? Is there any reason he really needs a desktop? I'd just get a laptop.

Why only an I5?

 

and a 950? this is not a gaming machine.

I agree with Stardar1. A GPU isn't necessarily needed in this machine. A 4770 with the configuration that you provided is going to be great for years to come.
