Office build recomendation

Hi everyone out there! How's going? Hope you all are doing great! 
Today i've a new question. I'll be working for an small company which needs computers. They will need 6 - 10 computers. Nothing fancy just for Microsoft Office tools, skype, cloud programs (such as dropbox, etc), web surfing, etc. They told me they want the computers to be rock solid (what they meant by this was that computers will never freeze) and cheap (around u$d 270 US Dollar)
I'm from Argentina, so I don't have a lot of options but for what i can buy here i was thinking of something like this. 
 

Intel Based System (because of power consumption, efficiency, experience)
 

CPU: Intel Pentium G3250 
MOBO: Asus H81m-K
RAM: 8GB 1333Mhz Kingston

HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1tb
CASE: Sentey SS1-2429 Styx (http://www.sentey.com/es/ss1-2429-styx-ss1-2429-styx)

PSU: Sentey 450w that comes with the case.

TOTAL:  u$d 200  http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hJFsHx
TOTAL IN ARGENTINA: u$d 357  (  Peso Argentino $1 = u$d 14,55 US Dollar)

I know that more cpu cores will help with multitasking as more ram. But didn't want to go with amd because of the heat and power consumption. 

What do you guys think? What will you recommend? 

MORE INFO: 

They will use 21 inch monitors with a res of 1920x1080.
They have small space for computers.
They want a solid system.
They want good looking pcs. 

That's all! Thanks in advance. Love you guys! 

PD: This will be my first time doing this. I used to repair relatives, friends, friends of a friends pcs.

I'm not saying to tone down the 8GB of RAM but you might not even need that much. 8GB is pretty much all you need for a good gaming system. If I had to make a recommendation, I'd say get a new PSU. You could get a Corsair 430W for relatively cheap

Obviously the power supply is not that great but it should be fine for your needs.

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

Here we go. I threw this together real quick and I think it's a perfect combo of a budget, compact, reliable PC.
