Im building a rig for my assistant, what's the best CPU today (preferably with integrated graphics) for the money?
Will be used solely for doing office work with many open Chromium tabs simultaneously.

Thank you!
 
Solution
Can be as low or as high as needed, as long as it won't suffer any speed or 'choke' issues in heavy browser-based office uses. It's for my business, all tax deductible anyway :)
For simple office work, something like this should be good...
