I'll get him setup with a windows 10, core i5, 16gb ram, 240gb ssd and an external usb drive for automatic backup of his spreadsheets.
Confirm if his parts database is on the web or local. By hearsay I heard a a similar use case requiring a >700GB SSD. Not terrible in terms of cost difference but something to check.
He is getting parts from rock auto etc.
It is not a local database.
I checked and believe me the spreadsheet is the most processor intensive thing there besides the web.
Getting the MS solitaire pack will blow his mind!
