What I can use to watch videos, netflix, write applications and now and then play online when I record videos with the webcam.

If you assemble it yourself and you get all the cheap parts, then less than € 300 for the hardware.

If you have to switch to more expensive parts because some parts are poorly available around 350, - €

Yesterday I looked for something like that on eBay myself.

If you don't value the latest, the selection of good - very good Intel Core 2 Duo / Intel Core 2 Quad Office PCs is very large, from 50 euro to the top, everything is included.

Yesterday I looked up to 100 euro, and that was pages and pages of offers. From core scrap to new or reconditioned boxes, everything was included.

Alternatively, I wanted to see what a new PC would cost me, depending on the manufacturer, I would be between 300 and 450 euro.

I would like a very good one for its price and assemble myself at least 400w power supply, in case a cheap graphics card comes in like 1660super used or something.

Can you build one for me?

You can certainly buy a decent and new office PC for 300 euro. However, a monitor and printer are still missing!

If money really matters, you could also buy very cheap used PCs. If you don't have to rely on large image files or even videos, even very old PCs would work.

Ja

This would be pretty much the cheapest thing that is currently feasible:

For gaming you should plan to use a graphics card.

A cheap used graphics card that would work well would be a GTX 750ti or GTX 950

You can also give me a budget, then I can also put together something else for you

You can use the following config up to € 340:

You have to buy a mouse / keyboard, screen and Windows separately if required.

With Windows I have good experiences with:

made.

The MAR versions are very safe because they have an unused key. But if you can create the installation disk yourself, you can just buy a key and download Windows yourself from Microsoft (with the help of the https://www.microsoft.com/...windows10)

For an office PC, I recommend the following composition:

Mainboard: MSI A320M-A PRO MAX

Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G boxed (cooler and thermal paste are included)
RAM: 2 times Crucial DIMM 8GB, DDR4-2666
Housing: Kolink KLA-002

Power supply: LC-Power LC420H-12 420W ATX 1.3

SSD: Western Digital WD Blue SN550 NVMe SSD 500GB, M.2

Graphics card is not required, the processor has one integrated. This compilation costs around 300 euro. To do this, go to https://geizhals.de/...izhals.de/, look for the components there, order them and then assemble the PC. A comparable ready-made PC would cost much more.

Optionally, I recommend a WLAN USB stick: https://www.real.de/product/344955229/?kwd=&source=pla&sid=27932694 This runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.

I recommend this as a webcam: https://www.amazon.de/...08GM7M11Y/ This runs on Windows, Mac and Linux and has FullHD resolution.

I can recommend Linux Mint Cinnamon as the operating system. To install this, you have to deactivate secureboot in the BIOS, which is possible with this self-assembled PC. Here is the download of the ISO: http://mirrors.evowise.com/linuxmint/stable/20/linuxmint-20-cinnamon-64bit.iso After the download, flash it to an empty formatted stick with this tool https://www.balena.io/...io/etcher/. The tool is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. I recommend doing a full installation. The latest Firefox, Libreoffice, multimedia components and tools are also installed.

And this is what the desktop looks like:

As you can see, the start menu is divided into categories. That makes the whole thing clearer. The taskbar with clock, volume, network / WLAN also looks familiar. Programs are installed there via application management. It's like an app store and is served that way. There you can find e.g. VLC, Skype, Spotify, Google Earth Pro, OBS and much more.

VLC can be used to record videos with the webcam.
