I need to do a build for my grandma. She doesn't need anything fancy since she mostly uses it for web browsing and email. It needs to be in the range of $500 - $600. I'm not sure what processor to choose. I was thinking possibly an E5200. How do these compare to AMD's offerings in the same price range? what about a motherboard? I have haven't dealt with Intel too much in the past.
edit: I forgot to mention a cheap monitor(~100$) needs to be included in the price
