Hello! Thank you for assistaning me!

This PC is a gift from me to my father but I want to check if these components are accurate and shall deliver the requested performance. Please note that all he does is using YouTube, Office and games like Zuma etc. NOT A GAMER!

Case: Cooler Master K380 K-Series Mid Tower Desktop Case + Extreme Power Plus 500W PSU

Motherboard:
1- Asus H81
2- MSI B85 Gaming -- Which one is better?

Processor: Intel Core I3-4160 Haswell 3.6GHz 3M LGA 1150 54W Dual-Core Desktop

Processor Cooling: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

Ram: Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB ( 2 X 4 GB ) DDR3 1600 CL9 V1.5

VGA: Asus GeForce GT 210 2GB GDDR3 - It will power a 24 inch Asus LED monitor at 1080p but no gaming as said above.

What are your reviews and did I pick well for the requested performance?
Thank you!
 
Dont get CASE+PSU combo all PSU in combos are low quality get PSU from tier 1 or 2 -http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
You can get Antec Earthwatts green 450w for 30$
Pick motherboard that has all connectors you need they dont affect perfomance, NOTE: H81 and B85 chipset motherboards may need BIOS update for i3 4160
you dont need aftermarket CPU cooler for i3 unless you want PC to be quieter under load
Dont buy GT210, IGPU in i3 will do just fine
 
sorta all over the place here.

you're not overclocking so you can dump the cpu cooler. the stock intel cooler is fine. the stock intel igpu is better then that nvidia you're purchasing for him as well, so you can just leave that junk card out of it. the MSI is the better motherboard.

and he doesn't need a 500W junk psu when his system won't even be a 100W system. find a nice 300-400W psu from teir 1-3 in this list.
