Is this build ok? Basic Office Admin use i.e. MS Office/Office 365. Budget £400-430
Never built with lower end components for general office use, bit lost on gpu choices/overall build
Aim was to outperform a £450 Dell Inspiron 3000 Tower with Windows 8.. Basically see if was worth it to build a custom of better performance at similar price
