Help! Find me the best PC under $500!
I don't pretend to be a computer guru but I know this site is certainly loaded with knowledge. The non-profit I run is springing for a new PC for my volunteer work. No gaming, or anything demanding. Other than surfing and updating our website, the vast majority of the work will be MS Office related, with some graphics editing. I've set a $500 budget.
Point me in the right direction gang. Thanks.

Thanks PN, looks like an awesome deal but I get this message when trying to add to cart:
Sorry, there was a problem with your request. Return to the Microsoft Store home page. Quote:

I told them I was going to check Best Buy and the guy said he'd match prices on anything comparable. I may go that route unless you have negative experience with Lenovo. My work desktop is Lenovo. Thanks again for your help.

I do not know the prices at all since the prices here are much more, but my advice is to buy an Asus or a Toshiba.
