Just changed a few things (SSD and PSU) and made it a bit cheaper.

So I am using my old PC parts to make a new build for my sister  this is what I have planned. SHe plays games like sims so really doesn't need anything too powerful and I think the 460 is a good choice as it would give her some kind of other option for playing other games on the pc. The i5 I had was okay but I took its cooler and placed into my new pc so I just used a basic cooler. the case needed drive bays and needed be of an acceptable quality. As for hard drive space  we will be using an older pc's drive but an ssd for the os never killed anyone. I got a cheap power supply however ive never purchased from rosewill so I went off the reviews from their products. and that's basically it I didn't wanna replace any of the parts I already owned so I was just wondering is this good enough or what would you think would be a better option this pc really does no need high quality products as I wanted to keep the budget as low as possible.

Semi modular means all cables other than the 24pin and 4+4 CPU cable are removable.
