Trying to build a pink case for the wife that's relatively future proof. No gaming, just web browsing, music (not production), YouTube, and ms office stuff.

The problem is that I've only built two machines and this is the first time I'm doing a color scheme. Im also stuck between DDR4 and 5. I don't think she needs the power but if I don't get the 5 now I feel like I'd have to replace the mobo if she needs to upgrade.

If theres any suggestions yall have to make it more compatible, more pink, cheaper, or more powerful without spending much more, please roast me on it (don't change the case though she's set on that).

I haven't run on integrated graphics in forever, so I was worried it might have awful performance, especially considering it's Intel

But it looks like things should be able to run at 720p at a reasonable framerate

If you do decide to add a GPU later, you may want to consider upgrading the power supply at the same time. The rule of thumb I use is that the power supply should supply double the power that the machine is supposed to consume (Which you've already done here for the current build)

I do have an extra 1080 from my now useless SLI. Think that'd work with this build and a ~800W± supply?
