Need Help!! Workstation Suggestions

[ShadowSigma]

I am building 12 office workstation builds to primarily run a PIMS system, with minimal additional day to day load. I am looking for affordable options versus pre-built with a small form factor for office use. I have attached minimum recommended as well as a suggested pre-built option that I am trying to beat significantly with budget if possible. I am looking to have these computers functioning smoothly for at least 6 years before the next upgrade cycle. I have built many gaming systems but not sure where to start for more business related tasks and will primarily use newegg, but open to other sources if deals are there. PLEASE HELP and THANK YOU !! - this is my first post!

 

 

Budget (including currency): Looking to beat $800 USD per computer 

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Office related tasks, uploading documents, minor desktop applications, emails, training videos, radiograph viewing, at least 8GB of RAM and SSD hardrives with at least 500GB

Other details: Looking to build ASAP, will need a few monitors and suggestions for that would be great (1080p), upgrading from : a mix of several CPU's - i3-2120, i5-660, i5-3470, i5-2400. i5-9500, i5-10400, i7-3770 , bonus points for good KB&B of office use that is within budget

Id really go prebuilt here if you can. That dell model you listed is 2 gens old now, and thats not a great price. I got 12 simmilar specced 3090 sffs recenty for about 950. You can also normally get better than web prices if you can them for a order that size. You can get them under 800 if you want. The other big differnce is support. Those dells have next day onsite support, something that's gonna be hard to beat.

 

Could go for something like this for diy, but I wouldn't. Not saving much, no warranty, Just more hassle normally

Logitech and Microsoft offer inexpensive wireless keyboard & mouse sets. Microsoft Desktop 900 is decent as is the Logitech MK295.
