Is the Mac Mini 2012 Server (2.6, 2 256 SSD Raid, 16Gb) a good option for my girlfriend?

Mac

Hi.

So she wants a machine that will hold for a few years doing light work (mostly text editing, minor photoshop and the occasional iMovie edit, no 4k needed). Running the usual apps: Spotify, Mail, iMessage, Adobe Reader, Safari (multi tabs). Only gaming will be Minecraft (how good will it run?). Also, VM Windows.

She doesn't want a laptop and doesn't like the iMac but would consider them if this Mac Mini isn't going to hold for at least another 3/4 years.

She can get it for 600 dollars. I'm aware it's a nice price but I'm concerned about future proofing her needs.

What do you guys say?

Thanks!
