I'm helping my mom put together a pc for multitasking, its mainly going to be used for work like microsoft office applications but could be used for more intensive applications later on, i put this together on pcpartpicker let me know what you think.

I'm going to be giving her my old gtx 980 for a gpu. 

The budget is $600-$800 dollars. Preferably closer to $600

Thanks in advance for the help!

instead of the 250GB 850 evo I would choose an intel 660p 512GB

⇒ more Storage, faster (because of nvme),price is not that much higher ($/GB is lower than the 850evo)

maybe even the 660p 1TB instead of both drives (850evo and HDD).

 

512GB:

1TB:

Do you need Wifi?

If not you could choose an µATX Board instead of an miniATX

With that you get a little bit more expandability.
Also they are a little bit cheaper.

 

Something like:
