You could probably double the RAM and go for a Samsung SSD.
I have built a PC in the mesh version of that case, i strongly suggest you change it , im 99% that motherboard wont fit in.
if you have more budget look at the Antec ones below. the P6 is MATX with a Glass Side Window, the NX100 is ATX with acrylic side window

Ohh thats odd, the case description says - Support for Micro-ATX Motherboards (Up to 22.6cm x 18cm) and the motherboard Micro ATX Form Factor; 22.6cm x 17.4cm
I know Chrome uses a lot of memory but im sure 8Gb would be ample.
Changing the SSD to Samsung wouldn't give you any noticeable performance increase, it would be better to just increase the SSD capacity.
If you wanted to spend a bit more then bump the CPU up to an i3, if you wanted to you could go i5 but for web browsing you wouldn't gain much over the i3

yes.. don't trust the numbers. look where my motherboard is nearly touching the side of the case in my photo, and compare the rear left mounting hole on both boards looks like about an extra 10mm on the gigabyte one which would push on outside of case

anyway enough of that... that system you specced up will fly and will look the *ollucks too in that case
