So I want to build a basic computer that is at most $250 to use in my room as a basic web browsing video watching machine I already have 2 parts to build the machine already so you can just use those parts as the partlist and you can count those 2 out of the budget:

If you're only going to browse the web and watch videos, why not get a Raspberry Pi?

I already have 2 parts sitting in my room ready to be put into a PC that's why there is a $250 budget because I don't need to spend money on a motherboard and HDD

According to http://ark.intel.com/products/90729/Intel-Core-i3-6100-Processor-3M-Cache-3_70-GHz, the CPU won't be able to use all the 2400MHz. Highest it can use is 1866MHz

because they're absolute bricks when it comes to browsing the web... sadly

 

on topic: pentium or celeron, 4GB ram, some at least semi decent power supply. duck tape it under your desk for all i care

I literally looked arround and found a Cougar Spike case sitting in the corner of my room too so I have a MATX case already too

Look for a used 4670, some cheap RAM, a halfway decent case, and a cheap Seasonic or XFX PSU, an EVGA B2 would also work. Just ask someone on here for a spare stock cooler and pay shipping

Right on the price, with an SSD. Loading times are one of the best places to improve web browsing experience.
