Hello there kind people of Tomshardware Forum!
I would like to ask you for some help, I'm trying to build a very quiet and functional PC for my mom. At the moment moment she is using a very old one with Windows XP, and it's so slow that she has to wait for it to load for every task.
She will mainly use it for low resources intensiv tasks like browsing the Web and opening PDF's, for her work she needs a Software with which she can grade papers, she will do some picture and data managment, and maybe she will play some old Video Games. I will probably get her City Skylines too, because I think she will like it.
Here is a PC Part Picker List of PC Parts of which I believe will give her a quiet and functional PC, which will hopefully last for the next 10 years.

I would like to ask for your general recommendations and have 3 questions about specific parts.
• I wanted to take some extra Noctua Fan for the CPU to be really quiet, but I'm not sure which one to get, so I just added some cheaper one.
• I'm not sure if the Power Supply I choose is good enough, and will have all the safety equipment, a quiet fan, and a good enough power rating.
• PC Part Picker says that upgrading the BIOS will be necessary to support the CPU. How will I be able to do that? I read that there might be a Boot Kit available from AMD, but I'm not sure if they have it in Austria
Also I choose the German PC Part Picker website because it shows more aviable parts than on the Austrian website, but I will need to buy the parts in Austria.
