Making a machine that will be just webbrowsing maybe some 1080p netflix watching.
Questions:
1. How much ram? Would 4gb be fine or should I stick with 8gb?
2. Cpu choice. Should I go with the a8 or would an a6 be fine?
3. Any other way to lower price? Trying to get this to be cheap but still fast.

For instance I made this thinking it would be a bit better as like I said cheaper the better here. I also dont want to run the pc into the ground though either.
