Nothing's wrong..... If it's not for gaming, editing and such, it's fine. You might want to switch the PSU, the power usage here is not much, but if she has plan to upgrade then stay with 500W.

hi guys I am making a new build and this is only my second build and first build that I use part recommended by Linus. My specs good imo and my friend agrees but I think it's safe to ask people who just go to this forum like my mom goes to Facebook. Here are the specs and the case is a must as that is what my sister wanted. Note: this build is not intend for, overclocking, gaming, editing, streaming, or anything like that.

CPU: Intel Pentium Processor G3220 3.0 GHz LGA 1150

Mobo: ASRock Micro ATX DDR3 1066 LGA 1150 Motherboard H81M-HDS

RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY 4GB 1600MHz DDR3

PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX 500 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS

Storage: Kingston Digital 120GB SSDNow V300

Case: Corsair Carbide Series Air 240 High Airflow MicroATX

OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1 - Full Version

Those are the spec I have not bought anything yet so just say something if you think you can save some money I have a $450USD budget. Thanks LINUS MEDIA GROUP!

She isn't planning to upgrade for a while and because of all the hardware is starting to be more power efficient should I maybe get a smaller size?

Up to you, 500W is safer though, who knows she wants to upgrade someday.
