Looking for recommendations for a fast machine home
office and web browsing- light streaming
looking for mb and cpu ram only.

 
Solution
Here is a suggestion. Normally I don't like i3s but they are good for more intensive office use, but you could probably be fine with a Pentium. It is also mini-ITX which is generally preferable for office use and will run fine on iGPU, although I would get a GT 730 or other low-end card for a performance boost, and an SSD and hard drive.

CPU: Intel Core i3-6320 3.9GHz Dual-Core Processor ($168.98 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: ASRock H170M-ITX/DL Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard ($98.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws 4 series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory ($39.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $307.96
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
