My sister wants to join the master race but doesn't want to spend to much jumping in. She asked me to help but I don't really know what I'm looking for when it comes to a budget PC. I want to keep it cheaper for her but I don't want her having something that craps out in a few months. This is my shopping list so far. 

DIYPC DIY-F2-P Black / Purple SPCC MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case

GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 6.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 760G USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 DirectX 12 GV-N1050OC-2GD 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video Card

CORSAIR CS-M Series CS550M 550W 80 PLUS GOLD Active PFC Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Semi-Modular Power Supply

HyperX FURY 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model HX316C10FBK2/8

AMD FX-4300 Vishera Quad-Core 3.8 GHz Socket AM3+ 95W FD4300WMHKBOX Desktop Processor

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan

 

 I'm just looking for where I could save her some money and or giver her better RELIABLE performance. Any help is greatly appreciated.

So if I switch over to a Ryzen 3 and an MSI Mortar, I have some spare Gskill DDR4 would everything look good?

Yep, just don't get an MSI board. Get an ASUS or an AsRock one. (@Princess Cadence @dave_k) and get 3000MHz DDR4, because Ryzen likes fast RAM ;)
