Story.

Grandmother wants a new desktop computer.
Shes just needs something for internet browsing and a few flash games she plays.

Is it better to buy a desktop at the store or build one for her?
I can get the windows and screen and mouse/keyboard so all id need is the tower case and parts inside. ( using ethernet cable)
Parts would need to come from canada and looking to spens 500 max or less if possible


If someone can do a quick build and i buy it im willing to tip for your time and effort

If you think you can get it lower that would be awesome. She doesnt need much. Just something for her to keep her busy

Edit.
Would she be better just having a hhd or ssd. She doesnt download anything to save. Like movie or music
