Hey, my sister needs a computer for her kids for school so it'll be doing light work like browsing the web, playing browser games, office, etc. She's on a tight budget nothing more than $500 you think it'll work?
Would this do: [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1eQEw[/url]
It's pretty low end, but should be fine for your purposes. The PSU is even 80 plus platinum!
Total of $430, if you wanted to cheapen that you could go for a lesser PSU. Just don't go for something crazy/not reputable/etc.
Why not go for the new AMD Richland A series APU (CPU and GPU all in one solution)
The A10 6800K (quad core) is good enuff for most tasks, and the built in GFX Radeon 8670D is good enuff for light/medium gaming, you wont be buying a GFX,save money if thats important. The 8670D is waaaay better than ANY intel IGP.
Even the cheaper little brother A6 6400K (dualcore) will do the job just fine.
Motherboards for the FM2 platform is cheap too.
For budget gaming and medium task (school work) its a winner...
Just my 2c.

Considering much of it will be processor intensive, that may not be true. It may outperform on some gaming tasks, but it will not in anything else. Keep in mind that browser games won't be as GPU intensive as separate applications. Still you may be right. I would suggest the OP look at some benchmarks if (s)he could find any.
