Which of these pre-built pc's, would be best for a business?

[logan]

someone came to me saying they want a new work computer...their old one has windows vista,...and some other older stuff i can't remember... he said he would spend max of $500...and i can't build it myself (he want's to go to a store like best buy / walmart / staples and pick it up.... considering how old it is, i don't think it needs a lot of storage, as his current computer would likely have 500gb or less..and he didn't say anything about needing more storage..for these ones i narrowed it down to having the best and most positive reviews..within the price range, and with a decent amount of ram... (generally i deal with gaming computers , so im not adapt with the needs of workspace computers)

please help me, which one would be best? and why?~if you have see a computer on bestbuy or walmart etc, that would fit the bill better , please share it (i can't give examples of the kind of work he does, im pretty sure it's basically putting stuff in microsoft word, but he says he want's it fast

personally the one i work at is great. all the people in my department are true enthusiasts and got me into oc gaming. also my bosses are all great and working is a ton of fun. i would totally recommend it. we get good benefits. i cant give exact numbers for any of these but we get above minimum wage, chances for raises, good discount, potential monthly bonuses and performance incentives (pizza, free blu ray, free video game)(all friendly competition performance based). There is constant chance to change position or get a promotion and the work environment is great. The minimum hour work requirements(in my area at least) are either 4 weekdays, 2 weekdays and 1 weekend, or available all day both weekend days.

The Intel i3 system would be my choice for an office. With two hyperthreaded cores it is more than up to most office tasks.

 

It's too bad that one can't get a 250GB ssd instead of an hdd.
