I've been working on a build for my sister. She is into light gaming, plays things like Minecraft and Skyrim. I am planning just an all-around good system for her with plenty of upgradability. Right now, this is what I'm looking at, though PCPartpicker didn't have the case I'm looking at, a Corsair Carbide MicroATX Mid Tower.

Updated list:

She already is getting an Asus monitor from someone and I'm going to get a mouse and keyboard for her. I am really just wondering if there are any incompatibilities with this build or if there's anything I can change to make it better without significantly increasing the price. I'm sort of at my price ceiling at this point.

Thanks in advance!

I'm heading off for the day, but I'm pretty certain you can get a 500w Gold+ EVGA psu for under 50$, and as others will point out, you can probably grab an AMD card for the same prince with a little better performance.
