A modern CPU should be more than enough to play flash games.
Btw, how much does all this add up to? ^^

Its $500, my mother buys a new PC every 4yrs cause they bog down so much, so im future proofing her pc to last longer then that. i think this would be more then enough. The 256 ssd will be mine and i will trade it for a 120gb that i use now

Don't worry about trying to "future proof" your mom's computer - it will never happen. I have a high-end rig (as far as gaming is concerned) and mine will be out of date in about 3 years, even with all the fancy stuff I used in it.

With such a low budget and simple needs, don't get an SSD. Just get a good 7200rpm drive. You won't need a graphics card, but I suggest getting the i3-2125 as suppose to the 2120, it has a better integrated graphics (not that you need it anyways, but it's only like an extra $5 or something).

If you really need to save money consider a pentium.

What he said. ^^

If there's a big cost difference, I think you can easily do with a 300W PSU.
