Can y'all take a look at this and tell me if I'm doing anything dumb or if you have any suggestions? (pcpartpicker.com)

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).

That's basically what I was thinking. Maybe something like an i3 12100 would be a good choice, but that is also almost overkill. I'm personally using an 10100f, and that's not just fine for web browsing, but also gaming.

The PSU is also overkill I guess, but going with a quality PSU is a great idea nonetheless. But something like a 400W unit may be better suited for this built, since a PSU is going to be less efficient when it's just getting utilized about 20%. Even 400W may be too much.
