I've had a similar problem (only with a thumb drive instead of a SSD) using the graphical formatting tool. For me the following procedure helped:
Open a terminal window/ command prompt and type "diskpart" (without the " at the beginning and the end). List your system disks with the command "list disk". You should see a list of your attached storage devices. Choose the SSD you want to format (be careful to select the right drive!) by typing "select disk <disknumber>" Remove any previous partitions with "clean" Create a new partition table using "create partition primary". After the process is finished you can end diskpart by typing "exit" Now you should be able to format the drive using the standard GUI option I hope that resolves your problem

Really like these improvements. I am going to go with this build. Thank you for the help. 
They really like a desktop hard to get older people to switch what they want. Plus already have decent monitors and peripherals. 
 
I will install windows 10 from a code I have.
 
The RAM will be the G.Skill - Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2800 Memory from above.
 
 

Of course almost everyone on this forum would encourage you to go with a self built system (myself included). But have you considered Chromebooks? If they only do webapps, you can get away with these. But since you already have monitors and keyboards and the like going for a desktop won't hurt anybody.
 
Do you intend to install Windows 7 on the PCs using the license they already have?
 
Here are a few amendments to your build that I thought was mostly good. Your RAM was a little slow, so I gave you faster RAM in dual channel.
 

Lots of big companies because the support contracts that go along with it like X years of warranty on parts and service.  But this companies tend to buy them in bulk though.  Your friend is probably from one such company.

This is actually pretty good. I'd spend the extra cash on a better PSU tho. Still worried about the CM Corsair PSU's...

Small changes for the better, its also cheaper. 

Case selection is pretty important for an office unit. It should not have a window or fan grill on the top. Windows tend to scratch easily and begin to look unsightly. Open fan grills on top are simply accidents waiting to happen.
 
A good psu is important. Cheap psu tend to fail and often contribute to system instability.
 
Ryzen cpu tend to prefer faster memory. It's also a good idea to take advantage of the small performance improvement offered by dual channel memory operation.

Any particular reason for including an optical drive?

The link is not working, can you post another one?

Hi
 
This may fit what you are looking for.  Finding a way to fit to a desk, may be hard.
 
https://shop.ictable.com/collections/esports-1/products/ictable-esports
 
 
I have found several arms that could fit your need on Amazon, or Newegg . The only problem i see, is finding one that can fit your monitors

predator x34 gets my vote as i have one!!  should be around $1200.
i run mine off my 980ti with no issues! was going to upgrade as soon as the 1080ti dropped but so far ive not found a need too!

Personally, I'd get this one: http://www.microcenter.com/product/474803/XR382CQK_375_Curved_UltraWide_QHD_IPS_LED_Display_Monitor
 
But I really like a large monitor.

What about this one?
 
http://aoc-europe.com/en/products/ag352ucg
 
21:9 3440x1440 35"
G-Sync
100Hz
Less than $1000

Some websites claim it is VA, others claim it is IPS.
I haven't done proper research myself yet, but I am almost certain that this is panel made by AUO and because it is 4ms it will be AH-IPS panel, or like they also like to call it, AHVA.
That may be also the cause of confusion maybe.
 
I also have AH-IPS monitor from AOC and it definitely looks more like VA rather than my secondary IPS one.
That's not a bad thing because it has really good colours, viewing angles and a lot better contrast.
 
As I said though, I haven't done my research yet so I cannot be 100% sure.

it was handy tech under 100
 

The XB270HU is a 1440p (2560x1440), 144Hz Gsync panel. The XB280HK is a 4K (3840x2160), 60Hz Gsync panel. A pretty big difference. 

With minimal gaming requirements, drop the gpu a bit and get a good SSD. Though the motherboard is probably more than you need, you could save some on it if you want.   PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant   CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor  (£138.31 @ CCL Computers)  Motherboard: MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  (£89.99 @ Amazon UK)  Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  (£39.99 @ Dabs)  Storage: OCZ ARC 100 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  (£67.98 @ Amazon UK)  Storage: Western Digital RE3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  (£28.99 @ Amazon UK)  Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB SuperSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card  (£162.98 @ Amazon UK)  Case: Zalman Z3 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case  (£25.29 @ Amazon UK)  Power Supply: XFX TS 550W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply  (£54.53 @ CCL Computers)  Total: £608.06 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2015-07-02 01:25 BST+0100

Forgot to add to the main post but either way I'm doing a fresh install just because I want to.
 
What do you mean?
I really cant be bothered installing it to be honest. I have had it for a month and like Ill get around to it sometime.
 
Forgot to add to the main post but either way I'm doing a fresh install just because I want to. For 3 SSD's will I need a raid controller?

you can set it in the Catalyst Control Center

To sum it up? Yay or nay?

This is an unknown (EDIT: To claim otherwise is both presumptuous and speculation at best). GTA 5 isn't even out yet. Will it run in CFX? Depends on whether or not AMD gets to sample the game before release so CFX drivers come out with it. Otherwise, likely not until AMD can make CFX drivers for it after release. This will eventually happen if not before release. Until it does though, can disable CFX specifically for GTA 5 until a driver update that states CFX support added.
