New Build for Wife Want Opinions

Id reccomend getting a AMD 7850 as the 560 is becoming out of date, but for casual gaming for your wife I honestly don't think you will need to spend 1k on a build unless she is a serious gamer.

does your wife really that big haf x case

No not really I just have another PC with that case so i just tossed it on there real quick It will be changed to something different.

get a monitor!
if she is not going to overclock than a B75 board is just dandy. a 550 watt PSU will be enough for any graphics card set up out there. i was tempted in squeezing an SSD in the build but getting a monitor eat that up . . . so here is/are my suggestion(s)
a little over budget with upfront costs:
