Build components suggestions

Building a PC for a friends relative, It's used for "Bible studies, taxes, and web browsing/shopping." direct quote from the email. 

 

I've been in contact with them and I also found out that my friend's grandmother hated the way the last one looked as well as performed, so I am tasked with making a great everyday build, as well as an aesthetically pleasing one. Joy.

 

Their budget is 550 USD max. I'd like to keep it down more if I can. -- Sidenote: Apparently this last prebuilt dell machine was rockin' a Celeron g465 and 6.0 gb of RAM I think. Most anything is gonna be a big upgrade.

 

Also, they don't need any periphs.

 

Here's the list:

The link is just for good measure. Any suggestions? The OS is gonna be from Kinguin, so that's why the custom part.

 

Thanks in advance!

1. Would go with stock cooler to save money.

2. Would get smaller case. Your build should fit into a Fractal Design Node 202 if you replace the PSU with an SFX model (the node 202 has a variant with a decent SFX PSU included).

Believe me, if it was for me, I would do both of those, but I was told that the aesthetic part was that they wanted to see inside the case. Sorry, should've added this to the OP.

I had this one originally on the list, doesn't it require a BIOS flash before working with Kaby Lake CPUs?

Its listed under supported CPU's but i dont know what they mean with "P7.00".

 i3-7100(S0) - Kaby Lake - 3.9GHz - BCLK 100MHz - 3MB - 51W - P7.00" http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H110M-ITXac/?cat=CPU

But i guess its BIOS version, so yeah expect there to be a BIOS update required.
