Hi there!

I am wanting to upgrade my 5-computer computer cafe's computers to more modern computers. At the moment I'm running some really old hardware, I don't know much about hardware but I basically have 1GB of DDR2 ram and really old motherboards/cpus. My HDD and Disk Drive are both IDE and I am running Windows XP on all of them.

What I want:
I am wanting a computer that can run Windows 7 without any performance issues (I'm thinking about 2GB of RAM) and a reasonable CPU&Motherboard that can handle the 2GB RAM. The HDDs I am wanting don't need to be very big at all, either 320GB or even smaller if they even still make those these days. The computers mainly run Microsoft Office and view pictures, facebook that sort of thing. I need completely new rigs. My budget is about $300 per PC and I need 5.

If you can construct this for me, then thank you in advance :) 

Kind Regards

Matt
