Question Looking For a Brand New (non-gaming) System on a $500-ish Budget

[AnimalisticDisskord]

I need a system with case, no monitor and all the peripherals. Only using to access internet and to have a computer. If $500 isn't possible, what's the best solution for around that price?

Few words.
Essentially an office build. No dedicated GPU, instead, connect monitor to MoBo to use iGPU inside the CPU. CPU cooler is included with CPU. Put in good, fast SSD as an OS drive. 1TB should be enough (you can get 2TB drive too if you like). PC case is personal choice and feel free to switch it out. But currently, build is small, cube-ish micro-ATX. 650W PSU was cheaper than 550W unit, so, put that in. Build can sustain up to 200W TDP GPU too, if you ever want to include one. Also added peripherals. Basic ones. KB + mouse combo. And for sound, both the 2.0 speakers and headset, since i don't know which of the two you'd prefer. (Personally, i have both in use.) Do note that peripherals are personal choice and feel free to switch them all out.
