Budget (including currency): USD

Country:  USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Photo editing, email, browsing

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Basically my Mom's computer is 10 years old and her audio doesn't work. This is a replacement to let her do what she needs for her online teaching and photo editing software. I don't have a graphics card included, but I'm hoping the 10th gen Intel chip works out fine with integrated graphics. Should run better than her 1/2 gb card from the early 2000's. Also giving her a blu-ray player so she has the option. Made sure the Phanteks case has a slot on the front to incorporate that. 

Mostly want to make sure compatibility won't be an issue. Any cheaper/more effective part recommendations are appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Here's the part list:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7rrCYg

 

 

CPU - Ryzen 5 2400G / 3400G

RAM - 16GB 2x8GB 3000MHz

PSU - (80+) 350W+

Mobo - B450

Disk - 1TB M.2

Case - Any case that she wants

 

 

And It's a perfect build for it.

Even 3 3200G would do good job in this system.

If she will want to start idk gaming or something she can still do something in 720p@60fps easily.
