Can y'all take a look at this and tell me if I'm doing anything dumb or if you have any suggestions? (pcpartpicker.com)

Trying to build a pink case for the wife that's relatively future proof. No gaming, just web browsing, music (not production), YouTube, and ms office stuff.

The problem is that I've only built two machines and this is the first time I'm doing a color scheme. Im also stuck between DDR4 and 5. I don't think she needs the power but if I don't get the 5 now I feel like I'd have to replace the mobo if she needs to upgrade.

If theres any suggestions yall have to make it more compatible, more pink, cheaper, or more powerful without spending much more, please roast me on it (don't change the case though she's set on that).

Yeah I kinda wish I hadn't done that. It's a Corsair SF450 small form factor PSU, they don't even sell it anymore.

I built this rig during the GPU shortage, I stole the GPU out of an old computer a relative was retiring. The CPU was chosen for TDP more than anything else, small form factor case without much room for heat sinks meant a power ceiling.
