Budget (including currency): €550 - €600

Country: Romania

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Browser games, maybe some simple hidden object games, possibly more complicated things in the future

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): 

 

Currently in my country the Black Friday offers began to appear, and I found some decent deals on a website I used before to buy my PC. I'm not buying a new PC for myself now, but for my mother. She plays mostly Facebook games and some very basic hidden objects / puzzle games, but her old computer is so bad that very few things actually run well. I want to buy her something not too expensive, but decent enough so that she can play games for long enough without having to constantly deal with laggy graphics.

 

Here's the list with the parts:

 

Storage: SSD Kingston A400 240GB SATA-III 2.5 inch
Case Aerocool Ore Saturn
Motherboard: ASRock B550M-HDV
PSU: Seasonic G12 GC-55, 80+ Gold, 550W
Memory: Kingston FURY Beast 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz Dual Channel
CPU: Ryzen 5 4600G 3.7GHz

 

I also attached a picture from PC Part Picker with the parts, but sadly I can't find the exact Case that I want to buy on there. Aside from that, the website tells me that these pieces fit together, but I just want to be 100% sure.

 

I'm also getting her a Samsung Gaming Odyssey G3 monitor, but I guess that doesn't matter that much build wise.

 

The CPU is good from what I found online, and the integrated GPU performs well. Honestly, if it can run GTA5 at 1080p at medium settings, it's going to run pretty much anything my mother will play. It might be overpowered for what games she likes, but I'm buying it this way so that I don't have to change it anytime soon.

 

What do you guys think? For around €536 I think that the build is fine, but I'd like a second opinion.

 

Thank you!

My only input at this stage is to verify RAM compatibility / stability through the board manufacturer's QVL for the board and processor used. RAM stability is a big deal with Ryzen, and the wrong kit can create a lot of issues. Don't trust the RAM manufacturer or Pangoly, only the board manufacturer's QVL for that board. I will say that you can probably get away with a B450M-HDV for the 4600G and save some money if no future upgrades are planned. I have a 3600X on one myself, no complaints.

I don't badmouth others' input, I'd appreciate others not badmouthing mine. *** More below ***

Due to the above, I've likely revised posts <30 min old, and do not think as you do.
