Office build

[David William]

So my dad's office need a new set of computers as the current ones are very slow and run only windows 7

They usually use Excel and simple applications.Here is what I thought of the pc spec

 

Ryzen 5 5600G

16GB ram

1tb ssd

No gpu,is that ok?

Asus M.B

 

 

Is this enough for the application, mind you I dont want to upgrade them for another 8 or 10 years.

 

And in the cpu,the seller mentioned tray, so we dont get any cooler or warranty right

Specs are okay, but a newer generation CPU would likely extend useable lifetime.

 

Consider getting mini PC. Excellent value for general office work in a very compact size.

I was gonna suggest that actually

 

Only problem is that its a whole new system rather than potentially a drop-in upgrade later down the line

I checked the mini ones here but like for the price the specs are bad

I wanted to but the ddr5 ram for them is so expensive, that's why I went with the older cpu

Yes I am not.btw some cpu are said to be tray and not sold separately. What does that mean

 

If I take the parts from different stores there is a price drop

Meaning that one needs to purchase motherboard etc. from same company. That or a tray of CPU must be purchased, i.e. bulk purchase, a single CPU cannot be purchased.

We just bought these for our office, Accounting department.  RAM is key for Excel, Adobe, and web based software like Yardi for example.  iGPU is more than enough for 3 monitors even.

 

Please tell me you're not looking to build them.

Any of them, as long as it isn't a N95 or N150 CPU.  Those are shit.  

 

Also, if these are for a business... I advocate saving money, but they still need security, warranty, and IT support that IS NOT YOU.

 

DO NOT in any way shape or form build machines for a business you do not own.  If you aren't an actual IT Professional company.

Shouldn't be a problem, but I have no idea of the size and complexity of the excel projects to be used.
