[Build Ready] [EU] Please look over this budget AMD gaming system I put together for my girlfriend's birthday gift.

Build Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes.

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

I'm building this for my girlfriend as a budget gaming system she can use to upgrade from her old Xbox360. Rather than getting her an Xbox One or PS4, I figured I'd build a pc so she can use it for university as well.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

720p, mid to high settings. She enjoys games like Skyrim and Borderlands on the Xbox360 so I figure this will be a step up from that.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

€400-500

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

The Netherlands

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.

I have no experience with an AMD build myself, as I use Intel (not a conscious choice, just sorta happened that way). PCPartPicker detected no compatibility issues so I'm guessing it all works out.

The case I want to get her was not on PCPartPicker, so I'll include a Newegg link here

Ordering all through Newegg as I'm in the Netherlands and it's the cheapest by far (the CPU for instance starts at around €140 when buying locally).

Total build comes to €462,93 on Newegg NL.
