[Build Ready](ish) Simple Home Computer(ish)

Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes.

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Mostly home use, like browsing and word documents/printing. Computer will also be used for coding (Android Studio) as a hobby. Would also like to be able to play some games at decent specs, but nothing crazy (Thinking Xbox Anywhere titles, maybe a couple Steam games).

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)

Playable frame rate and resolution, nothing spectacular needed. 720p at 30fps would satisfy my needs to start. In the future upgrading may occur though.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

$500 - 600 CAD

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

Canada

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.

Looking for a cheap, but effective video card if the above parts can't do what I am looking for in regards to playing games.

Any other additional insight would be valuable. This will be my 2nd build.

Thank you,
