Gaming and such. want her to build it herself, so easier cases preferred. Any suggestions CE?

NZXT H510 is a popular and good case.

Here's a sub 1000 build. I went with the x570 mobo over the lower models because the x570 and b550 (which isn't out yet) will be compatible with the upcoming generation of Zen processors, so it leaves room for upgrading.

1 sata SSD for your OS and the nvme for games. You can also toss in a regular HDD for everything else.

Went with the rx 580 because it's a decent enough graphics card to play in 1080p at high in most games at an affordable price.

Went with 750w PSU because it'll have the sufficient cables and pin connectors for that motherboard.

Thanks for the info. What OS would be better for a build like this? Windows 10 Pro 64 bit fine for this?
