because time is money. the intel is faster across the board so will save money in the long term... more work+less time=mo money...
in most cases the 2500 will be enough but if you need massive number crunching ability along with multiple databases and presentations then the 2600 could be a better option and as your not gonna need the biggest and best gfx card then why not get the best cpu that can be had in yer budget... for office use i may even consider a 2011 socket and put a vidoe card in rather than a gfx card. as i said hes more likley to be using it for databases than playing games.
That's what I was thinking too. It's an office computer so there is no need for a 300 dollar video card. So because of that why not put that money towars the best CPU. The I7 will be better because it has the better IGP (not thats its great but its one better then the 2000 graphics) and more importantly has hyper threading that will help with speed if the person is doing alot of things all at the same time.

While I mostly agree with you, it really depends on what the person does for a living. I could have sworn that the OP mentioned that the person was an accountant? I'm not sure what all software/databases he uses. I suppose I could ask some of the accountants here what they use and how fast they can do it on their 2.0 Ghz C2D PCs.
No that is my dad. This is a different computer for someone else.

Hi
As someone said....any $500 machine from the local computer shop will do....why custom build an office pc....it DOESNT need a graphics card even..onboard will do...
Dont overcomplicate things...
By the way....to the OP....are YOU warranting thses machines you are building for businesses ?
If you are not, this is going to come back and bite you....a business may well pay $1000 for a machine, but if it breaks in 3 months, they WILL come back to you...and expect YOU to fix it for free....and dont forget ...ALL machines will break eventually....
All the best Brett
Because prebuilt computers are junk. Most have junky FoxxConn mobo's, junky PSU's, cheap video card (if it comes with a video card) pretty much cheap everything. I can do a custom build and it will be more reliable and better quality than anything from Dell, HP/Compaq, IBM/ Lonovo. As for the warrenty yes I am.
