Trying to figure out something for my new office pc, I don't want a hdd only an ssd of 120gigs or 128gigs no more no less. I'm mostly just using it for browsing the web and some light apps as well as using some vm's once in a while. I don't really have a set budget, but please not super overkill I don't want an i7 or a video card. I was thinking i5 and 8 gigs of ram. I just want it nice and small but semi professional looking.

No need to go for an i5. An APU will work just fine.
