My 60 yr old mother needs a new system. To replace an old dell. She has keyboard and mouse and monitor. Just needs everything else. The only thing she does is surf and read e-mail. So all she needs is a basic system that will last a while. And help? Thanks

Preferred site would be newegg.

Here is a Intel build, you could go AMD for a cheaper build.
