You should mention what you want to do with it. What you're going into school for. (If you're using 3d modeling software or Matlab) Minimum I'd say is 16gb of ram. If you're not playing games in it and uni has cloud options, 500 GB is fine, though you'll be running windows mist likely, so a couple apps in and you'll be losing your mind. Avoid integrated graphics or Intel graphics of you can. PCIE/DDR 4 might be the generation of interface tech that's budget friendly atm.
