A 500 watt PSU should be more than enough, I personally recommend something from corsair or EVGA. It's up to you but you could go with a single 1TB HDD (which should be more than enough) or you could go for a 500GB SSD and a 500GB HDD if you want faster boot time. As for motherboard, I'll let someone else help with that

Go with a high rated 450+ watt powersupply (atleast 80+ bronze).

Since i dont hink you need anything crazy for the motherboard, just take one which fits the color scheme and matches the requirements. Just take the less expensive one.

8 gigs of ram will be plenty, but i would consider upgrading the graphics card. Dayz pushes my r9 270x really far. Both games are very cpu intense aswell, the i5 will do just fine.

 

hope i was able to help u

You need to specify models. There's a terrible Corsair power supply for every good one, and there's a terrible EVGA power supply for every good one.

GTX 645 won't get you far - it's barely capable of running games - most modern ones won't run

Nvidia Geforce GTX 645 

She might run into issues, as the GTX 645 is terribly underpowered. At 1080p, I would never recommend anything less than a GTX 750 Ti, and even that is significantly faster.

The only exception is if you're giving her a 900p/768p monitor. Although it's a bit of an arse thing to do, a GTX 645 should get the same framerates at those resolutions at a GTX 750 Ti at 1080p.

That's spending way too much for a B85 motherboard, although the pink case might be a nice touch if that interests her. If you cut back on the motherboard and the SSHD (hybrid drive), and get a Windows key of Kinguin ($20 OEM, $50 retail), then you should be able to fit a better GPU into that budget, as the GTX 645 isn't going to be doing much at 1080p these days. Minesweeper, maybe.

Also, you could save up to $15 without compromising on power supply quality. While a modular power supply is nice to have, the Seasonic S12ii 520W is about $15 cheaper.

Well OP can changed the parts to what he wants. All of these are just suggestions.

No doubt, but improving upon one-another's suggestions does make for a more informed final recommendation.
