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).

If my 8th gen Mac mini handles it just fine a 14th gen i5 will handle it just fine. My laptop has the same GPU and I can play a surprising amount of games pretty well on it.

The gtx 1080 would be overkill for just one monitor. Unless you're doing 3+ displays with lots of video skip the dedicated GPU and save the power.
