Looking for a simple system for streaming and basic web surfing. no gaming at all. this is an older gentlemen who wants to watch youtube/news videos and look at the grandkids' pics on facebook. he'll also stream netflix to his tv. only piece i already have is a GB B450 ATX mobo i'd like to use to save money there and a 1 tb m.2 i got spare for some reason. basically means AM4 "g" series so can save not needing a gpu. otherwise it pretty much wide open.
need ram, psu, case, and a monitor/KB/mouse. got the OS covered. don't really care where parts come from so long as it's in the US.
i am curious what folks can come up with to keep it as budget as possible without junk parts. plenty of pre-builts out there that would do the job, but curious how a custom build would compare in price. obviously the quality of parts suffers with pre-built, but exploring all options at the moment.
i could easily pick parts but i am always amazed at what others find that i missed while looking around.

not seen those before. thought of a raspberry pi as an option, but thought the NUC type things were more costly.
