I'll let you experts tell me what to do. My wife needs a new PC. No laptops.

She only uses it for Surfing Internet, EMAIL, Games on Facebook and simple games, Like those Hidden Mystery Games.

I'd like it to be a small package. mATX maybe? Smaller?

MOBO?
CPU?
CASE?
HDD or SSD?
MEMORY?
PSU?
OPTICAL?

Thanks

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157362

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116886

You can take or add anything you want to it, so it's better suited for your need's.
