Hi all

I am looking for advice on buying a low end PC for a grandparent that would like a fast machine for web browsing other low demand tasks.
I was thinking something like an ACer aspire 780 (https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Acer-XC-780-Desktop-PC-Windows/dp/B0746HKSD1/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1532867578&sr=8-3&keywords=Acer+Aspire+Desktop)

but was hoping to find one with an ssd in.
His budget is way to high for what he uses it for so around £500

I'd suggest an older machine (maybe used too) that had an older gen i5 and with what you can save from it, buy an SSD, which is a must

DESKTOP PC - CPU-Z VALID | i5 4690K @ 4.70 GHz | 47 X 100.2 MHz | ASUS Z97 Pro Gamer | Enermax Liqmax II 240mm | EVGA GTX 1070Ti OC'd

HOME SERVER | HP ProLiant DL380 G7 | 2x Intel Xeon X5650 | 36GB DDR3 RDIMM | 5x 4TB LFF Seagate Constellation 7.2K | Curcial MX500 250GB | Ubuntu Server 20.04
