Hi toms!

I need some help coming up with a parts list for an office pc (tax mainly) as well as to be used for storage for backing up photos and other important documents. Must be reliable

The main question is the CPU I was thinking a bay trail board or a Pentium

Requirements
4gb of ram
64gb ssd
minimum 1tb harddrive
windows 8
Budget
500-550

Thanks for the help!
 
You can squeeze a nice i3 and 2TB drive into your budget.
