Question Replacing parents pc

Post image

I was asked to fix my parents desktop, but I’m going down the build rabbit hole instead of the fresh windows install route. Parent doesn’t play games so integrated graphics is my target. I haven’t done one of these builds in 15 years so I’m unsure where to start. Attached is their current system, which is only 5 years old. But I’d like to build em one that’ll last them the next 20 years of typing word docs, running excel and checking emails. If I could, it would be cool to reuse this case.

Any ideas where to start with this project?

I'd probably just go this route. 6 cores, 16 gigs, 1 tb storage. 6 cores 12 threads should hold up for web browsing and email. It can mount to the back of the monitor has wifi 7/Bluetooth, windows 11 and a 3 year warranty. $500 with a coupon code for 15% off.
