I am going to be building a PC for my uncle, he will, mainly be writing emails, documents, and other office related stuff. I know a lot of the parts I choose are a bit “high end” for his use-case, but I want it to be future proofed. I will be buying all of these parts at microcenter tomorrow, and was wondering what you think of them. (We are at the Minnesota microcenter) Budget is $500

If ITX is more useful than having the extra 2TB Hard Drive (and higher-end motherboard), then I converted Case, Motherboard, and PSU to fix ITX and dropped the 3.5" HDD:
