Its been a long time since I go to SLS or get a shop there to assemble a PC.

Was looking through the price lists and settled on the PC Theme list.

From there, I picked the parts out.

Usage is generally surfing, watching movies or streaming services, and some light gaming, mostly using emulators for mobile based games.

Is this ok? Or can be lesser?

Looks OK but the SSD and PSU recommend to change.
The Crucial P3 is a very low end SSD at that price get Samsung 980 (Non pro) 512GB $79.
Samsung 980 will be faster than the Crucial P3.

PSU wise get FSP than Thermaltake, Thermaltake PSU in general I will recommend to avoid.

Example FSP HV PRO 85+ 650W $67.

Based on my usage on board graphic is good enough right?
Looking at components you choose and type of usages it's meant for. Maybe you can consider this mini pc at lower in price and size ? :)

If you are not playing specific game the IGP will be fine.
You can get a used GTX 1650 (Around $100) or something down the road.

if u diy and pick from different stores, can be much cheaper (~$500). u can follow my recommendation for 1080p low gaming here, and even if u top up for a 1tb nvme, tower cooler and pay around $30 build fee to get a shop to build it for u, likely still significantly cheaper.

if u are dead set on pct, then cant really cut cost much further since their prices arent great. the only place i can suggest changing is going for the thermalright phantom spirit 120 se instead of the se226xt, but even that is just a $10 reduction.

I totally agreed with @NightRaven49 on the Aircooler, grab the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE as it does a better job. It's cheaper and with 7 heatpipes that carry more heat off from your processor. As for M.2 nvme, aim for 1TB at least. For my personal opinion, I will get something reliable and durable. for entry level will be Curcial P5 or Western Digital 770. though your system is cater for Gen 3 (5600G processor) these are gen 4 m.2 but backwards compatible, down the road if you upgrade your system, Gen 4 m.2 will come in handly.
