With 40k, you can get an i3 build. Will definitely be better than your 3400G but for the use case, your existing 3400G build should do. If you want another PC, go for it but to replace your 3400G build, I wouldn't suggest that.

thanks. by replace I mean giving it to sister and get another one for me. she is using an old laptop and asked to check a new one for her work (heavy browsing plus MS Word) which will be around 40000 or more so thought of this exchange.

If you're getting it to replace the old laptop, yeah go ahead. You can fit i3 build or R5 5600G build in that budget. Not sure if you can squeeze 1TB WD black in the budget.
