Smart TV + micro PC set up help

Auleo

Hey techies, i need some help with a project. My uncle asked me to pick out a Smart TV that's preferably 45" could be a little less or more; he likes Vizio, and he wants it to be wall mounted.

 

On top of that, he wants a new windows PC to be able to be mounted either on or next to the TV on the wall, so I figured something like the Intel NUC, but it has to be small and thin, so it sits flush with the TV. 

 

Price isn't a big thing, however, the PC must be win 10 (I'll provide a copy) and I don't think he needs anymore than an i3 with 256GB must also have wifi included. Also a wireless keyboard and mouse would be nice, doesn't have to be RGB but if it's backlit that'd be gnarly

 

Please and thanks guys, I'd love to hear your insight. Also links to items please.

Is the pc going to be connected to the TV?

Is the TV going to be on a LAN?

Will the TV have Internet access?

How will the pc be used?

The PC won't have a direct internet connection, it'll just use its built in wifi

 

The PC will be connected with a standard HDMI cord to the TV for display and Audio

 

The PC itself will be used for internet browsing and light office tasks. Nothing too big
