Hey guys

 

I was wondering what would be a good CPU/MB to start a $500 build on. It will have no GPU, its mainly browsing the internet. I just want something that will get me by for at least few years.

 

thank you!

Just internet and web browsing? Nothing else?

Do you need an OS, monitor, mouse, and keyboard?

that is not part of the budget. the $500 will just be for the system

Similar to the other build, just a better PSU:

This one's nice because you can also do some light gaming or something on it as well.
