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).

If you switch to AMD G-series, the iGPUs are much more capable than their contemporary Intel counterparts. I did gaming solely on a 5600G while I waited for GPU prices to drop, and I was able to play the entire BioShock series, Halo Infinite, Prey, Savage Planet, and several others on medium settings, getting 45-55fps @ 1080p (32GB, DDR4 3666 C16).

I don't know about 4K, but I would think it's in the realm of possibility for a non-gaming target.
