It should work for whatever your moms got to do.

A nice little i3 system with iGPU would work for any office tasks and 1080p video.
The power supply will support an upgrade to any medium power video card.

That looks like your trying to build a entry level gaming PC not a office PC.
This would be faster, and very low noise. the 500GB SSD should have plenty of space if she stores videos and a bunch of crap then add a WD blue 1TB drive This has a very good case and will be almost silent. Seasonic PSU.

Budget build for every day Use:
CPU enough for any office work, some minor video editing and have nice iGPU that can run even some recent games
About storage drop 1TB Hdd if she do not need capacity, good to have SSD fast system boot faster loading programs more comfort ect.

Gotta say i like death rabbits build. That ssd would help quite a bit.

Mine only uses a SSD and all high quality parts including the case that would be very quite.

 

[fudgecakes99]

True true, your's is the better overall case, but i'd say death's is the best budget case.

 

[CammyD123]

Thanks guys for the suggestions. I just realized that what i was trying to build was WAY overkill for what she is doing with the PC.

Granted i use boards a lot more then i do just answer answering peoples hardware queries. That said, wow the salt in this post. That angry because someone else had a better build for less money? Maybe look at a sodium free diet? Salt kills you know.

I just help where I can on builds you get all the tards posting low quality stuff to beat the price and have even seen some that will not work. I get most of mine from fixing their problems I have been building and repairing a long time. I would say how long but then my age would show.
To the question at hand for the purpose of the build here since his build was at 500 bucks this.

Your build was good I just like the SSD for the only drive. Usually quite is very good for a work PC.
