Building a PC for my sister since she needs one, and I'm using Linux Mint cause I've heard its light weight and on the minimum specs page its already lower than Windows 10's minimum specs.

Anything you could purchase today would run on Linux Mint.

System requirements:

512MB RAM (1GB recommended for a comfortable usage).
9GB of disk space (20GB recommended).
Graphics card capable of 800×600 resolution (1024×768 recommended).
DVD drive or USB port.

Notes:

The 64-bit ISO can boot with BIOS or UEFI.
The 32-bit ISO can only boot with BIOS.
The 64-bit ISO is recommend for all modern computers (Almost all computers sold in the last 10 years are equipped with 64-bit processors).

What will she be using this for?

Win 10 can run on pretty minimal hardware.
