im building a pc for my dad
low budget generally,specs are like
intel i3 6100
8 gb ram
60gb ssd
1t hdd
450W psu
asus h110 M-A mobo

yea and i was thinking of not including a gpu since he doesnt game(nor uses editing software).So the question:

Will it handle easily normal everyday tasks and applications?
And could it handle games like minecraft or league on low settings,or generally some low gaming activity in case i wanna use it or even he might wanna try smth?

Yes, it will. Easily. Intel HD graphics is very underrated, you'll be able to play league and minecraft easily, as I have tested those games on a raspberry pi and they ran smoothly. If your dad doesn't use any editing software, you don't need the GPU.

HD 530 is surprisingly good compared to some of the integrated graphics they put out in the past.

I'd do at LEAST a 120 GB SSD for the OS. 60 GB will fill up quickly with Windows updates, temp files, and system restore backup points. Windows is a massive space hog in daily duty.

I thought an 80GB SSD was fine for a small Windows Media Center PC, but it ran out of steam and could not be reduced in size after Windows had a few months with it. You def need to consider Windows will want a bit of overhead for things such as system restore, and all the updates that make their way into the PC. My virtual Windows 7 on my Mac is always around 65GB in size. My little Media Center 80GB just filled up with nothing other than the OS on it and up to date Windows updates, even after disk clean and CCleaner, it was still in the red on Windows Explorer.

A quality and cheap name brand 120GB SSD woukd be cheap, and last a heck of a lot longer for Dad.
