put an ssd in what she has now, its fine for facebook and webgames.
nah, its fine. a "6-8 year old" system isnt going to have cap problems, that was the early 00s. all that lead might have had an effect...*sucks teeth* eh, asking all that decade-old hardware to keep its electrolytics in their intended arrangement is starting to ask for trouble.
When I was a sysadmin, we recapped a ton of motherboards and power supplies that weren't even nearly that old, because we were budget-constrained. And that was when they still used reliable, delicious lead.
I used to go up on the roof up there on spring and fall evenings to smoke a Nat Sherman while the sun started setting, when it finally got cool enough, and wasn't covered in snow.

A lot of this hinges on what she uses the computer for, and whether or not she wants to stick with desktops.She mostly uses her phone.
Her pc tower she currently has is going on 6 to 8 years old. It has a i5 2500k if I remember right. Maybe I am wrong on the age of it.
Many of us have 2xxx-3xxxx or older system running 24/24-365 days has server without issues (and we can assume that machine clocked less work) and for non-critical system there is absolutely no problem for them to stop working suddenly and just change them when an issue occur no ?It's been 10 years for that CPU. And it's not just caps, but delamination of PCBs, who-knows-what with the heat regulation, moisture cycles, and just fatigue in general.

I am talking about people that recycled their old gaming/work PCAnd that's not even accounting for different parts selection for server use
Just buy her a laptop. The only reason to get anything larger is either heavy gaming or need of significant compute (video cranscoding or the like).
I did that with my father and mother and they are both happily using the laptop which they can take with them. The era of buying a box computer is over for vast majority of ppl.
