It depends on your mother's uses and needs. Also, would you need an OS in that budget? Because $80 out of $350 leaves very little left. For just an average consumer PC if you need an OS included it's usually cheaper to buy something prebuilt from HP or Lenovo.

However if an OS isn't needed I would do something like this for a basic home/office PC:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor ($108.37 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: Asus H110M-E/M.2 Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($44.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Avexir Core Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($46.90 @ Amazon)
Storage: ADATA Premier SP550 240GB 2.5"...

There's room in the budget for a DVD Burner if she needs one. I went with a 240gb SSD and no mechanical HDD. If she needs a lot of space get a 1tb HDD instead of the SSD. But the basic idea is the same, i3 + H110 + 8gb of ram.

sales will determine which one will ultimately be the cheapest, but even without sales the difference can be around $25 max.
