An optiplex seems to meet the needs. Check newegg
Even better, go with Macrium Reflect Free. I've upgraded dozens of systems from spinny disk to SSD using Macrium.
This!
Your CPU is entirely adequate and then some. Same for RAM.
Swap to a good SSD and be done. Macrium will save you a lot of hassle.

Much like building an AR, you could likely build a better one for less but you have to know what you're doing (which I don't). But honestly, these are great. They seem to be beyond capable for mundane work stuff - running multiple Office apps and browsers.
Those are decent for the stated use. Also, Dell's Precision series are a good bargain for anyone wanting something with years of lifespan and tons of room for upgrades. Many of those can take over 128gb of RAM and Xeon (server grade) CPUs.

I've been using Transcend (as it is cheaper) for a lot of time and it was ok for almost everything I needed. Until once it wasn't recognized on the computer. I tried several times and on different computers and it also didn't work. I had a small panic attack back then as I thought I lost all my uni documents. I appealed to professionals, to make a DATA RECOVERY, and thank god the guys helped me.
