Hello, my young cousin (16) is in need of a machine and he asked me to build one for him and I need help or second thoughts in doing so. Since he got school in front of him, I'm trying to build something easy on his pockets while still as value sensitive as possible. He is probably gonna do school work on it, and perhaps some very light gaming. When I meant cheap, I meant REALLY cheap. Overall, we're aiming for about $430 USD or lower, So if you guys can help me out in dollar crunching or second thoughts, please do help
