help Chromebook v PC

[Google Fanboy]

I have a budget of roughly £700 pounds. I want to get a new laptop/PC. I am currently thinking about either getting an ASUS Chromebook flip C302 ( From amazon.com as its cheaper) or building my own PC. I have never built a system before and, until recently, viewed computers as arcane magic. I do not mind the limitations of Chrome OS but wouldn't mind using windows. Please help me decide. A PC part picker link would be nice as well as information on what mode of the C302 I should go for. If possible an SSD would be nice and I prefer AMD but don't really care

 

P.S. Does anyone have any experience using Google Clouds platform free $300 to run  a VM to code in.

definitely building a new PC rather than a chromebook.

 

You could always buy a proper Windows laptop with that much money.

What would you use it for? Does it need to be portable? In that build, would you need the monitor, OS and peripherals?

I would use it mostly for browsing the internet, coding and maybe playing a few games. I have the OS(Ubuntu) already and all the peripheral I need but I don't have a monitor.
