Building a PC for my grandparents

[hondo13]

Hi, My grandparents want me to build them a new pc, I have built one for my self before with no issues but i have no clue what specs to use for them because i don't know what works best for people who don't game all i need is a list of specs that can let them do the internet, facebook, the very rare word document, and words with friends, oh and I like to use Intel

For grandparents... it's best to get them a pre-built OEM system instead of building one for them.. it would be cheaper and they'll have OEM support during the first year.

Like the previous guy said, it isnt worth building a low end PC since companies like Asus and Lenonvo buy components in bulk at lower prices and can therefore sell a lot cheaper low end PC's than you building it. Why include a GPU like a 750 ti if they dont play games?
