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).

Should be good. 32 GB seems like a lot of RAM. DDR4 should be fine for a long time still. Even my "gaming" PC is plenty happy with DDR4 and I don't plan to change for a while.

I don't have specific recs for other parts, but I think monitor, speakers, keyboard, and mouse will be more critical components to pick carefully with your wife.

She already got the ducky one3 gossamer pink.
The peripherals I can handle but some of the compatibility stuff is over my head but I do my best. The RAM is pretty cheap so I figures why not blast it

By the time you want to upgrade anything, something else unexpected will be obsolete and you'll have to upgrade the motherboard anyway.

DDR4 it is!
