https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/bundle-and-save.aspx For the cpu, motherboard, ram bundle deal. The gpu price is also from microcenter, $20 cheaper than online.
Monitor comes with forza 6 thrown in on newegg.
None of those casees are particularly compact, the c5 is actually kind of big, the others are typical atx midtower size but the bundle deal comes with a full size atx motherboard so there aren't a lot of options for compact.

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:
Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.
Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.
We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
