I highly recommend Intel GPU if it's mainly for regular usage, an Intel i3 can outperform FX-6300 if the purpose do not require lot of cores, which normal usages do not.

What is your budget?

They work together although if you could I would go with a 970 based chipset (its newer and better than the 760G) it might cost a little bit more but I'm sure she would appreciate booting via UEFI that most of them support (cuts a good few seconds off the boot time) the boards also Sata 3 support.

I might also suggest trying for the 750 instead of the 650 Ti as the 750 uses less power and has comparable performance to the 650Ti (half the power same performance). They should be around the same price (at least they are where I live).

Otherwise as I said everything will work together.

I'll look into the 970 chipset if not alot more then might be a worthwhile upgrade and I'll check the price difference between the 750 and 650ti might be same price where I live as well
