New CPU Rig Recommendations

Main usage would just be for surfing net and general usage.

Macbook Neo.
Sit out the component RAM, SSD and GPU price hikes.
Not joking here.

Would prefer having a proper PC, probably upgrading etc in future easier. I contacted Dynacore and they advised the following:

Gigabyte B760M DS3H
Intel i5-14400
Team Group Elite Performance DDR4 3200 16gb kit
Coolermaster Elite 302 Case
Silverstone Attis 650W PSU
With installation

$795

Parts/price looks ok for a basic pc

no nvme storage?
install your own windows?

both recommendations from dynacore so far are on old platforms with few, if any worthwhile upgrade options. u would likely need to replace the cpu, mobo and ram minimally (which already cost more than a mini pc) and the remaining parts like psu will probably need to be changed as well if need to accommodate big gpus.

i still feel the quotes u got are quite chop carrot head, this is what id get for just general use if need brand new + local warranty:

i3-10100 + asrock h510-h2/m.2	252	techdeals
klevv / gskill / crucial ddr4-3200 8gb	85	bizgram
tecware neo m3 argb	49	bizgram
fsp hv pro 550w	50	pckaki

total $436, add another stick of 8gb ram also not much more than $500. u can also opt for ~$300 cpu + mobo combos for more recent parts (eg 5600gt, 12100) and those still wont break $600, though id say skylake+++ is still sufficient for daily use. u can inquire on build fees at various shops there, but i highly doubt that with the fee included the total will come close to the $750-800 quotes u got.

no nvme storage?

already have ssd + hdd.
