EDIT: all the other pcs are win 7 so it can be networked easier

 

okay so i previously had a win 8 pc that i was using and it was fine, I had got the backup hp with windows 7 working but now it doesnt again. rather than haul my windows 8 pc up here again, I put together a cheap pc build that im thinking will be fine. Cpu has build in graphics, and I happen to have a new never used 500 GB WD blue, and optical drive already. Here is the part list. Can yall confirm what im sure is fine for an office pc?

You are going to be much much better off buying a used computer. Get a refurbished one from an OEM like Dell if you don't feel comfortable going used. It will be much cheaper, faster and should have 8GB of RAM for about the same price which is far far better than 4 GB even in office work.
