New Build for internet browsing only

[jimthenagual]

Building for a friend, and asking for feedback as I always do before any build. The only part he already has is a new PSU. Not the greatest, a Corsair CX450M, but it's just an internet browsing machine, no GPU or overclocking. Thoughts?

Note: I'm in Japan now, so the prices are close, but not 100% acccurate.

Seems like a solid build. You could save a little money (cheaper motherboard, maybe) but nothing monumental either. I would have no problems recommending a similar build for web browsing to a friend/family member.

Good system. Can easily grow to meet any needs.

Personally, case is way expensive, I changed to an m2 SSD, same price and capacity but no cables. cleaner, simpler IMHO

^something to be said for a simpler cable layout going with m.2. As for the case that depends for me. I get there is a certain esthetic value that may make the extra cost worth it. For that one I'd ask your friend what they prefer.

Good call on the m.2. Made the change on the order. As for the case, it's as atomic says, it's his personal preference on that one. I'm mainly wanting to give him a system that'll boot up in seconds, and open/close browsing windows lightning fast.
