I'm in the middle of building a gaming PC for myself, but my mom needs a new computer for everyday tasks like office work, watching YouTube, and doing homework. I'm aiming to create a budget-friendly, non-gaming PC that won't lag during these basic activities. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Have you considered going for an Intel NUC or a Ryzen mini PC? They should handle everything you need without any issues!
A mini PC like Beelink or Minisforum could be the way to go. Trust me, trying to DIY for the same performance can get pricey!
You should check out places like Shop Goodwill, Facebook Marketplace, or eBay for old office PCs. You could add a cheap GPU and extra storage, and you might get a good home PC for under $50.
Check out the Lenovo m75q gen 2. It mounts behind a monitor and has several Ryzen options with good RAM upgrade potential. It could even handle light gaming if needed!
Honestly, for your requirements, you might want to consider a used Mac Mini if the budget allows. It's hard to beat the efficiency of an M4 Mac Mini for basic tasks.
