$300~ Computer Build

[th3pk3rkyle]

Hey everyone, in the future I'm going to be taking online classes meaning (I will have a video with an online instructor streaming the class live) but I need a computer build for me to just browse the internet, video chat, and occasionally watch Netflix. I was looking for some suggestions.

Pref: Intel Processor
Already have a monitor
Looking for Windows 7 operating system with Microsoft Office and if possible be able to use the operating system again for my gaming pc that I will be building in 2-3 months.

Budget $300 but can go a little higher if needed

Legal copies of Windows and Office could eat up $200 of your $300... If, once you are a student, you can get Office for cheap that will help. There is no legal way to use one copy of Windows on two computers at the same time.

Here's a build that I had planned on building for a client of mine but I'm not sure if I'll get the opportunity now. That's beside the point, they needed a computer for similar reasons as you; internet browsing, video chat, financial work, watching movies and shows, etc. It's just slightly over $325 but I think it'll be the perfect build for you.
