So I am looking to start a new business and i need 11 machines for about $750USD each. I am open to any suggestions. Please use https://pcpartpicker.com for all the builds. 

 

Thanks in advance <3

 

TEH LORD KITTEH.

 

In other words "I won't tell you what I need them for, feed me the builds". 

 

What's the workload? What software will they run, what do you need them for?

whats your business? 

Well where I live not many people can afford gaming pc's and what not. So I plan to open a gaming internet cafe/Computer Repairs/Retail Store (Retail because you can't find good keyboards and mouses here either. No corsair, steelseries and what not). but yeah that's basically it.

If you want, you can go with R9 390 - it will exceed your budget a bit. ;)

This with a cheaper case would do just fine. I'm thinking NZXT Source 210. as well as a 1tb WD Blue. won't need 2tb for this build.

For those who all putting 600B PSU, please stop.

 

All those builds are considered pretty high end.

 

600Bs are not really recommended for High End builds.

You don't need an aftermarket cooler on a locked chip.

Also, the 600B from EVGA is a low quality PSU.

however 

 

however i will prob go down to a 120gb ssd and up the graphics card to the 390x

390x isn't worth it and 120GB SSDs fill up really fast.

This with a cheaper case would do just fine. I'm thinking NZXT Source 210. as well as a 1tb WD Blue. won't need 2tb for this build.

S210 doesn't have front USB 3.0 ports.

Won't have anything on the ssd but the OS and very light programs. All games will be on the hard drive. good point on the usb3 tho. gonna have to look for another case. I don't wanna buy a motherboard and not be able too take use of most of it's features.

I would swap out that 960 to an R9 380.

 

840 evo is old SSD. 850 evo is newer. My build has 390 which is better than a 380.
