Building a PC for Grandma

[kreek]

Hello everyone! My grandmother has recently been introduced to the current century and obviously her Windows ME PC isn't going to cut it in today's world. I was looking online for some PCs, but see that the specs are rather low for the price asked. (Dell, HP, etc.) I'm comfortable building it, as I build my gaming PCs, however I have no clue what kind of parts would be good for just simple web browsing and such. Pretty much what the average PC user would do, including a lot of skype calls. I already have the monitor and stuff, all I would need is the parts, not including Windows. I also don't need an optical drive, due to me having a spare one. Can anyone help me pick some parts that would suit an average PC user, while being semi upgradable in the future? I'm trying to keep it around 300ish for the total price as well.

Thanks!
Kreek

300 USD / Florida / I'm used to intel CPUs, but don't really care whether it's intel or amd due to it not being for gaming.
