Small Budget PC for web browsing and TV

Me and my mom are looking into getting a small PC for use with our TV for watching online video (Youtube NetFlex etc) browsing the web and possibly some basic gaming.

i am posting this because i want some recommendations for parts

 

Budget: $300 (Canadian) but we are willing to go up to $400 if necessary.

Location: Canada. Edmonton area.

Store Preferences: We Prefer to Buy things in store over digitally and our preferred store is Memory Express

 

When are we planing on buying: in the next few months (probably in summer)

 

Aim: Youtube Netflex (Online Video and TV) Web Browsing and some basic Gaming (tetris puzzle games and possibly emulators).

 

Monitors: single 1080p TV

Peripherals: We already have a wireless keyboard and touch-pad. Also we need it to have WiFi.

OS: Probably Linux and/or Windows

Storage Type: Doesn't matter. Storage Size: 1TB is enough

 

size: the space i want to put the computer is 9 inches tall (but the width is not a problem)

 

Other notes: we would like to keep it fairly small and low power

 

We have not decided on any parts yet

the space is not that small based of my measurements a thinner normal case would fit as long as i can lay it horizontally
