Simple Budget PC for normal work

[Caramallows]

As the title says, i'm looking to build my mum a simple budget PC for her work.
It doesn't require intensive multi-tasking, normally just for emails and Excel/Word.

Got a HDD that i can salvage from a older PC too.
Don't need mouse, keyboard and monitor.
Budget wise, around $500-$650.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Os, size and color preferences?

Os, size and color preferences?

Currently running on win7, can upgrade to win10 too.
Mid cases or mini-ITX cases are both fine.
No colour preferences, doesn't need to be too flashy.

He wants a simple computer for work related tasks. Don't tell me that a4 5300 cant do simple tasks like that, its not that rubbish. Its just for simple email viewing and microsoft office, not exactly demanding. Why is it you keep coming after me anyways?
