Hello there , I was looking to create this build so I can surf the internet, watch videos and stuff.

I really don't want any lag on the computer so everything is smooth, this will be my personal computer, and I won't be gaming on it.

Here it is :

What I would recommend is get a dual channel RAM, which means 2x2 to make 4GB. This will increase the performance by about 5% compared to a single stock of RAM.

As this is an everyday laptop and no gaming then a graphics card is not needed. There's nothing much else to say.

I took your advice and changed it to 8gn (2x4), is there anything that would lag the computer? Is the processor okay?

Well I would improve the CPU and motherboard and some other things. But are you on a budget?

I would recommend getting the Pentium G3258, and dropping the RAM to 4GB in case you need to lower the price. Otherwise, the build looks pretty good on paper! In case you have a bit of extra budget, an i3 would definitely help lag and decrease load times, otherwise this is a well rounded build in my opinion.
