Hey guys, my family PC recently crapped out and my mom decided to ask me to just go ahead and build one for her. She's just going to use it for typical web browsing / youtube / netflix etc. I'd love for it to be as smooth and fast as possible for around $400, thanks! (No OS / Accessories like Monitor / Keyboard / Mouse needed.)
Family PC build (~$400 budget)
