Office desktop build

[mufcmark]

I need to build four computers that will be used in an office for just going through emails and excel.

I'll need a full build with keyboard, mouse and monitor and a 240gb ssd rather than a hard drive. Not much space will be needed so a ssd will suffice.

I have no specific budget but I don't want to spend more than necessary seeing as it will just be used just for excel and emails.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

Have you considered either the following, they just connect to the back of the monitor for convenience.

Then ask OCUK to upgrade to 240GB Samsung 840

I may also be tempted to upgrade from the standard 4GB to 8GB, it should only be around £25 and it will future proof the build more.

So I've been informed an ssd will not be required so here is the proposed build:

Intel Celeron G550
MSI H61M-P31-G3
Corsair Builder Series CX 430 Watt
Corsair CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 XMS3 4GB (2x2GB)
Samsung S22C300HS 21.5 inch LED Monitor
Seagate Barracuda 3.5 inch 500GB
Coolermaster Elite 361 Mini Tower Case
Microsoft Wired Desktop 600
Logitech OEM S120 Black Speakers (2.0)
LG GH24NS95.AUAA 24x SATA SuperMulti Internal DVDRW

Total: £362.25

Could anyone do better for a similar price point (or less?)

I take it that the excel work is not that complex?
I have a dell with an Intel 3770 and 8gb of ram at work.
when working with large and complex spread sheets I still get the message
(Not Enough Resources Available to Complete This Operation)
