For a budget office build, the ideal is spend little, have a PC pronto all’upgrade but above all to work with a system stable e reliable.
Intel in this case has an excellent entry level solution thanks to the Core i3-10100, a quad core with hyperthreading that guarantees excellent performance for spreadsheets, generalist browsing and thanks to integrated graphics, why not, a little bit of video on lunch break!
Un SSD NMVE nowadays it is definitely affordable and 250GB they will be enough to be able to work mainly in cloud. For everything else there is a cheap and reliable HDD mechanic from 1TB.
Small compromise the single stick of RAM which can be easily coupled to a second to easily get to 16GB.
Sober and anonymous case, without too many fancy things like glass or RGB panels, and a certified power supply 80 + Bronze to have a long life.

Small upgrade for the CPU, which goes from 4 cores / 8 threads to 6 core / 12 thread of Core i5, allowing the management of heavier and more complicated files (has anyone talked about spreadsheets and databases?).
An upgrade also necessary for the RAM, which now becomes dual channel with the addition of a second 8GB stick, for a total of 16GB.
Archiving from 1TB SSD + 2TB HDD allows you to work with the same speed but with double the safety, thanks to the possibility of carrying out backup of the most important works.
The power supply does not need to increase and for the look this time we can turn a blind eye, with a classic black box to hide under the desk!

With the budget available, the office needs to find the perfect compromise between silence and power.
Intel Core i7-10700, in combination with 32GB di RAM, is perfect for managing any complex workflow, including spreadsheets, text documents, browsers with dozens of tabs and complex databases.
To complete the equation, the speed of a NVME SSD da 1TB (but always paired with 3TB storage for backup!) will make the experience snappy to say the least.
A small upgrade also for the motherboard, which now supports faster RAM and above all incorporates WiFi e Bluetooth to ensure quick connections and with any device.
The case and the power supply for the latter choice are based on airflow and silence: Fractal Design e SeaSonic from this point of view they are a guarantee.
