PC for Office & Payroll

Hi guys

I've just started a new business and am looking for a office pc to run applications including payroll software.

I have winxp pro and office 2007 plus the payroll software, but need a stable machine to install it all on.

What do you peeps think of this?...

Please let me know your thoughts, as I have no idea what is good and what isn't having not built a pc for 4 years.

To be honest, they're overkill, you could probably get a sufficient machine for less than £50 if you looked around (shame you're not eligible for members market yet). You don't need dual-core, Athlon 64 FXs and Radeon X850XTs for basic office work
