With Str 5, you will have difficulty carrying the clothes on your back, a handy haversack, and a decent number of magic items. A shadow can also 1-shot you without even needing to crit.
I'd suggest boosting Str to 8, and possibly dropping Wis to 8. You have a racial bonus to perception and a strong will save class.

The feat Precise Shot does work with rays, as rays are considered a weapon in Pathfinder. You could also use the feat Weapon Focus (Ray) to get a better attack bonus. Remember that Precise Shot requires Point Blank Shot as a prerequisite, so you are looking at a lot of feats already:
Point Blank Shot
Precise Shot
Spell Focus (Enchantment)
Spell Focus (Necromancy)
Greater Spell Focus (Enchantment)
Greater Spell Focus (Necromancy)
Empowered Spell (Or Intensified Spell or another Metamagic)
This already requires 13th level, and normal play for PFS stops at 11th level.
In that regard, the stat bonus at 12th level won't do much for you, so starting with an even number in charisma might be a better choice.
I'd focus quite a bit more, perhaps on a single school for the bonuses. With the very high charisma you will do quite well with general spells.
My own first character was an human arcane bloodline with a focus on evocation. She got an improved familiar at 7th level and I had fun playing her for many levels.

so on my character I would only have my spell component pouch (2lbs)
FYI as a sorcerer you get Eschew Materials for free, so unless you need a focus component or expensive material component you shouldn't need a spell component pouch.
Glitterdust is a good early conjuration spell for sorcerers - it can blind an opponent who fails the DC or reveal an invisible enemy (since sorcerers have so few spells known, it's good to have spells that do more than one thing). Later there are various poison gas cloud spells.
But Spell focus: Conjuration is also a prerequisite for Augment Summoning, which is probably the motivation here.

I recommend meta magics of empower and quicken. Both are very good and useful for many types of spells.
I'd buy a lesser rod of extend for 3x a day extended 3rd level or lower spells.
I would recommend spell focus conjuration and evocation. Conjuration controls the field and can win fights alone. They tend to stick around for a while as opposed to 1 and done enchantments. Necromancy is my favorite school because some of the spells have effects even if they pass the save.
Grab spells with multiple uses like glitterdust. It blinds, reveals invisible targets, and can hit multiple critters.
I'm a fan of create pit + mount combo. Mount can be ridden, used as cover, or if they are in the pit dropped on their heads for more damage. As well as triggering traps.
I assume your character has the arcane bloodline, and that you want it that way rather than because it is listed as the default.
Plan out the build to 11th, but with an emphasis on being viable as early as possible, as you can't avoid either playing or GMing 3 scenarios per level.
Identify is now lackluster instead of mandatory, so just ignore it really and let the wizard or bard take care of identifying stuff. Also debuff rays like Enervation aren't as good as they were while area control like Stinking Cloud or Black Tentacles are really scary.
Use Magic Device is really good because of all the cheap and readily available consumables in PFS.
I would probably dump int over str. The difference between a 10 and a 7 is 4 build points and all you get is +2 on int based skills and 1 skill point/level. Carrying capacity can be a pain as belts, cloaks, haversacks and headbands don't weigh any less for a small character, though if anyone can get by with a 5 strength it is a sorcerer.

For core only PFSP. As mentioned before the stat increase at 12 dose you little to no good. Starting with a Cha 20 increases your save DC by one, and gives you a extra level 1 spell to cast.
STR: 5
Dex: 16
Con: 12
Int: 12
Wis: 8
Cha: 20 (+1 at level4, 8 and 12)
My other suggestions.
Bloodline
Aberrant: Has very powerful bloodline spells, and good bloodline powers.
Arcane: Has good bloodline spells, and good bloodline powers. You needs a metamagic feet to make full use of this bloodline. However your limited to a few good ones.
Celestial: Has good to very good spells, and very good bloodline powers. For summoning/flow of battle one of the best bloodlines in the core book.
