Hey everyone, I'm back on the hunt for an office rig. Needs an SSD, obviously. It’ll mostly just be for browsing, running some diagnostic software, Microsoft Office, PDFs, and handling invoicing/billing stuff. Basically, I just need something fast that won't break the bank. Thanks in advance.

Corsair Void Black Case, no PSU included (P/N: SPC173)
The MS PC COOL 12cm case fan with blue LEDs.
I guess you could call this an Intel CPU desktop Pentium G5400 (3.7GHz, 4MB, LGA1151) box. Maybe it's just basic, but it gets the job done.
Corsair Vengeance LPX 500W Bronze Power Supply P/N: SPC164
Apacer Panther Gold DDR4 2666MHz, 8GB
MSI H310M PRO-VDH Motherboard (LGA 1151, DDR4, USB 3.1, USB 2.0, SATA III, HDMI, DVI-D, VGA)
Kingston 240GB A400 SATA3 2.5" SSD (7mm thickness), rated at 80TB TBW.

All in all: $810 Maybe just a quick heads-up on the Center.

Would you say this configuration is sufficient for a bookkeeping workstation?

Yeah, but you don't even have a graphics card

I completely lost my train of thought and forgot that the 1200 doesn't come with integrated graphics... so, if I just grab a Ryzen 3 2200 g, would that pretty much solve my problem?

I suppose I should also pick up a Windows 10 license for this machine... where would be the most sensible place to hunt one down without getting completely fleeced?

eBay, you can snag them there for just a couple of bucks

Honestly, that doesn't strike me as being particularly above board 🙂

Now that I realize this is intended for accounting purposes—or specifically for business use—it’s totally off the table for me, even if it is perfectly legal for an individual to use it.

Check out Best Buy, just search for Windows 10 under the software category

There are plenty of shops selling them for about $167 last time I checked, and they should be able to give you a proper receipt if an auditor ever shows up.

BTW, it doesn't have to be Windows 10 Pro; Home is perfectly legal for businesses too
