Need Help Choosing Parts
I put this parts list together and am looking for some advice. I am making a general workstation for my mom who works from home now that she is older and I wasn't sure if to go with ryzen 3 or ryzen 5 just for future upgrades but I didn't want to go full throttle because she doesn't need it for streaming, gaming, or editing. https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=d63c227d-a0f2-4a1d-af52-2e15a71a2aee

If she just needs it for general browsing, you wouldn't need a dedicated video card like a GTX 1650. You could either get a processor with integrated graphics or use a low-profile card like a GT710.
For a CPU with integrated graphics, I'd look at the Ryzen 5 3400G or the Intel i5-10400 instead.
