May I get some opinions on my home-office/family PC? (first time building)

Budget (including currency): $1000 CAD maximum

Country: Canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Microsoft Office programs, general office use, web browsing, watching HD videos, and some light gaming. Meant to be a good long term investment, to save my parents a few hours (cumulatively over the years) while doing tasks. I might occasionally use it to host a Minecraft server to play with a few of my friends, as I currently use my laptop for that, and when I open other RAM intensive programs, the server slows down.

I made a shit ton of extra money this month and wanted to treat my parents with a new family computer (our Dell Inspiron desktop from 2013 finally died). They've always used low end PC's for their day to day usage, and I wanted to create a build for them that would last another 7-10 years, is relatively fast, has good video quality, and is able to handle low end PC games like CS:GO. I don't think I need a dedicated graphics card, as the PC won't be used very often for gaming. I made sure to pick up some parts that would allow the PC to boot as fast as possible, and be able to handle many office processes at once.

I need about 4 USB ports in total, and ethernet is not an option, so I made sure to pick up a WIFI motherboard. This is my first time building a PC, but I'm sure I'll be fine as I've been watching LTT + PC build videos for years. I just want some opinions on whether the APU choice will be good here, and if there will be any incompatibilities with parts (I.E, MOBO needing a BIOS flash to be compatible with the processor), or if the case fans+CPU cooler will have enough headers. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
