The second one.

The second one.

Why?

Why?

The processor is really good, You don't need more than 32GB for 60 people. And the price is also cheap. Overall the second one will suit your needs very well.

If you could get #2 but with SSDs instead of HDDs I'd go for that. That's basically an i5-4690 but with ECC support, meaning you won't get any memory errors (corrects one bit errors and detects two bit errors, two bit and higher errors are rare enough to be considered nonexistent). While you lose a bit in core speed, I'd consider the ECC memory worth it.

The E5-1620v2 is a generation older (i7-3xxx) equivalent) so IPC is going to be on par with the e3-1231v3. And you don't need more than 32GB of RAM for your load.
