Ditch the A7N8X. It runs the CPU too hot. I should know; it's what I use.
Get something by MSI or Soltek.

pretty good stuff for an office PC.
Make sure the CPU has quiet and cool technology in it (i forgot which amd CPUS don't have it, but most do) since it will probably be on all day.
You should also opt for a CPU with HT since that significantly help office products.

Argh, unlucky. I was gonna say that that spec looks fine, although as someone already mentioned you might want to pick a different board.
