wait how do I uncheck this?
@fpo, @SCHISCHKA, @JORGEN297, @Megah3rtz Thanks for the input.
Yes. Ideally I'd just get an used Optiplex or equivalent however as this computer is being built for my mother and despite numerous requests to buy one she insists on a new pc "because it's so small, weighs so little and takes up no room."
Gaming won't happen as my mother basically uses skype for chat and video calls office for word processing spreadsheets and mail and as a web browser. With that in mind I briefly thought about going i5 (but sanity called what a terrible killjoy) and settled for the i3 with as stated in OP the possible downgrade to g4400 which i keep as an i3
Next cooler. Yeah for the lulz i thought about going NH-D15 (as both case and board support it afaik but not really worth it from a money standpoint) . Probably going to end up with the NH-U12S. As for the industrial fan I was under the impression that you could set a maximum rpm either in the bios or with a program so keeping them in line with the regular NF-F12 but maybe I can get an LTT Edition NF-F12 on cheap side.
As for the PSU I chose SFX rather than atx as this build is not for myself but for my mother and some of the cases she liked were SFX-only and if she'd like to change to a chassis without atx support I'd have to get this psu anyway.
So in conclusion: Would I build it for myself? No. But in her specific use case I think this build makes sense as she'll use it for like 6-7 years and compared to the laptops she used to buy ("because our 25kg Mid-Towers from Antec were way too heavy and impossible to move") it's closer to a third of the price. (No her use case did not warrant a laptop). Thank [insert deity of choice] I've managed to convince her otherwise.
So updated build:
