Is this system sufficient for my gf?

XPC Shuttle SH67H3 Case/mobo/300watt PSU included (can't change the PSU, it's a special tiny one that i can't find anywhere)
Intel Core i5 2310 2.9ghz
8GB G.Skill RipJaws DDR3 1333mhz RAM 4gbx2
Corsair Force 60gb SSD for the operating system
Western Digital 1TB Green Drive for her downloads
LG DVDRW drive
Asus Radeon 5450 512mb DDR3 video card
Asus wireless N mini PCI adapter
Speakers (will be using my home theatre setup in the bedroom)

BenQ 24inch LED backlit monitor
Microsoft Wireless Desktop 3000 keyboard/bluetrack mouse.

She's just using it for school, music, HD movies, youtube, light games and adobe lightroom. Am i missing anything else here? or is there a better combination out there? She really likes the XPC case since it's small and cute looking.

oh i would also like this system to be sufficient for another 3-4 years...

The HD 5450 is barely better than the integrated graphics; a low-profile HD 5570 would be a much faster option and shouldn't cost you more than $25 - $30 more.
