I need an office PC build under 500$ with a 1080p monitor included.

Used Dell/hp workstation for like $150-$200 USD would work just fine. New 1080p 24” monitors sell for about $100 new on Amazon. Some are even 75hz. But you could probably get a used one for cheaper.

I think I'm gonna have to go with a new one instead of buying a used pc

what's your endgoal for the PC? just like, web browsing and MS office tasks?

#

and what's your location, USA?

that's a little different market, most people here are going to assume USA/canada

i5 6500 + 16GB RAM + SSD is going to feel plenty fast for dad-online purposes, you know? $75 generic 1080p LCD later and you've spent less than half his budget

And then, you can stalk eBay for a cheap gpu, and get a decent gaming machine

one thing I need is a good amount of storage

#

schools office pcs tend to get full really fast

that's one great thing about DIY

#

you can just skip the whole upgrade process you know

#

nothing stopping you from dropping a 1TB SSD in that machine... or one you build from scratch!

#

I bought a 2TB NVME drive for $60USD in store a few weeks back. good time to buy imo
