I see. A few points then. If you buy a new PC it is unlikely that there will be XP drivers for all of its hardware. There isn't much wrong with W7 except it may take a bit of getting used to. If it is a transfer station do you really need 900Gb of HD space? I think I would look in the second hand market for a name brand machine with specs such as Intel i3, min 4Gb Ram, 500Gb HD but accept that it is going to have to be W7. By name brand I mean HP, Fujitsu, Lenovo etc - NB this sort of spec you can get new for around £275 plus VAT. I would avoid W8 as well. Is your existing tower case and power supply really worth trying to preserve?
I note you say vinyl transfer. What software do you use? If it's VinylStudio then I can confirm it runs fine on W7.
