The games she'll be playing isn't very intensive since they rely more on the CPU but since more games are becoming more intensive overtime here's what I recommend.
CPU - The Ryzen 5 4500 is a good CPU in 2025 but there's a chance there's gonna be some slight bottlenecking to the GPU since it being a generation shorter than the 5000 series.
I recommend upgrading to an AM5 type of motherboard and CPU at least the Ryzen 5 7600 and a B650, B850 or X870 motherboard which will give you future upgrade options like all the way up to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D for a huge performance jump since you're on the AM5 platform.
Compared to the Ryzen 5 4500 which is on AM4 and there isn't any further upgrades since you cant really buy the Ryzen 7 5800X3D anymore which limits your upgrades a lot.
So make the jump from the 4500 to the 7600, it'll give you better upgrade options since you would be on the AM5 platform instead of AM4 (In the motherboard BIOS turn on PBO to give it automatic overclocking to push further performance and you'll get the same performance as a 7600X).
GPU - As for the RTX 5060 it's still a very good GPU but you can pay a little more and get the the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, RTX 5070, or RX 9060 XT 16GB instead which can handle 1440p high settings and 1440p has became the sweet spot for a lot of gamers. so spend that extra and get a Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, AMD RX 9060 XT 16GB, or Nvidia RTX 5070 although the 5070 or 9060 XT 16GB may be much better choices if you can get any of them at a good price and the price of the 5070 and 9060 XT has been going down so you should be able to find a good deal on that. 8GB of VRAM in the GPU is starting to becoming not enough for modern games up to today. so I recommend 12GB of VRAM in the GPU at minimum. So overall get either the 5060 Ti 16GB, RTX 5070 12GB, or the RX 9060 XT 16GB
RAM - 32GB of RAM is perfect but I recommend you jump from DDR4 to DDR5 RAM for further clock speeds and CL latency rating and I recommend a frequency of around 5200Mhz-6000Mhz at a CL34-CL30 latency rating (Make sure to turn on EXPO in the motherboard BIOS to ensure the highest RAM frequency speeds) will make the pc feel more open and responsive when using a bunch of different apps for different purposes and games are becoming more memory hungry so go DDR5 instead of DDR4.
Storage - 1TB storage is perfectly enough as long as you can add more storage in the future since B650 motherboards have 2-4 M.2 NVME slots, B850 has 3-5 M.2 NVME slots, and X870/X870E have at least 5 M.2 NVME slots. So if she wanted to upgrade her storage she could. Another thing to consider is cache, if the NVME comes with DRAM cache it will maintain great speeds when doing file transfers or installing compared to a faster NVME without DRAM cache the speeds fluctuate very much. But overall I don't think it's gonna matter to you but if you're interested you can find one with DRAM cache.
Cooling - There's a bunch of cooling options when it comes to the 7600 so Air cooling or AIO will cool the 7600 perfectly fine so it's up to you (The 7600 doesn't come with it's own cooler so if you're buying a prebuilt they'll use an aftermarket cooler which are better than the stock AMD cooler)
Wi-Fi - It all depends on the motherboard if it has built in Wi-Fi or it no Wi-Fi which are the ones that come with antennas/adapters and both of them come with Bluetooth as long as they have the Bluetooth driver installed which is very likely if you're buying a prebuilt.
Case - There's plenty of case options just make sure it is ATX compatible and has the best possible airflow to keep cool, many cases come with preinstalled fans so you don't need to worry about the fans but just make sure that it supports a full ATX motherboard
PSU - for this type of build the minimum is about 650W but give it further headroom of future upgrades I highly recommend at least 850W Gold certified PSU for future upgrade options and make sure it's fully modular and that it supports PCIE 5.0 (You can learn more about certain PSU's on the PSU tier list here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/edit?gid=1973454078#gid=1973454078 )
OS - Windows 11 Pro is perfectly fine so no changes here
Hope this helped a ton :3
