Building a computer for my friends mum, she says shes pretty basic for simple web browsing I guess. She wants the computer to be under $300. How does this look?

Hard driver:

the fx-6300 is a little heavy CPU for just browsing on internet. get a A10 (with integrated graphic card) and delete the GPU and upgrade to 8gb of RAM
I forgot, I have the same Motherboard and its great and has a very good integrated GPU but I think the GPU from the A10 will be cover the other one but still be fine
Yeah definitely go with an integrated gpu. I don't know why you would go with a 5900 rpm harddrive, either go with a budget ssd and sacrifice some storage for speed or just go the old dependable route with a 7200rpm hdd.
I'd go somewhere along this line: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FCYWyf
You could even go witrh a prebuilt mini, save yourself the hassle:

Was pretty much going to post this.

chromebooks are your friend

Because RPM on a hard disk make no fucking difference whatsoever.
Anyway, OP specs something that takes more space, looks uglier, and costs more, and your qualm is that the hard disk doesn't spin fast enough?
Way to misunderstand the requirements.
Yeah, OP did too, but that's why he's here asking questions; why are you here making him more wrong?

Get an off-the-shelf SFF with a Celeron and 4GB.
Your "friends mum" does not need a PC the size of a toolbox with a whole bunch of unnecessary fans in it, just so you get to say you did something.
If she really gave birth to your friend, find her a refurbished Ideacentre Q190 for $100.
