SImple PC Build Help (Internet/email/word)

[Jthall5105]

Hello, I am looking at building a new computer, but it isn't for me it is for my grandpa. He doesn't do much on it besides using the internet / email and then for word/excel purposes. I am not sure what to get for him, but I do know that it can't be that expensive. I am looking for something in like the $250-400 range. I do know that I would prefer to use an Intel CPU over AMD and there really isn't any need for a SSD in my opinion or anything more then 500gb HDD aince he doesn't have much that he would need a ton of space for. I am not sure what he has currently all I know is that it is fairly old possibly 5-10 years old (probably closer to 10).

Any suggestions would be appreciated, Like I said not sure what to get just was told he was thinking of wanting a new one and I haven't had enough time to do some research myself just yet.

Thanks in advance!
