Office PC Build Planning

[Ophidio]

I've been hired to build a few office PC's for a local company and since this is my first actual job doing this on my own and not through another company I thought I'd get the opinions of LTT before taking the offer to them. These will strictly be used for office use no gaming. Nothing extremely heavy being put on it. They just want fast PC's to be able to do all of their invoices, payroll, tax related items, and keeping up with their books for the business. 

 

So this is the system I have so far. The budget is $800 per system and I'm going with the best prices on Amazon as they want to use Amazon Prime to get everything except the monitor and keyboard/mouse I told them we could just go to our local Best Buy and pick up something from there. Are there any suggestions, or tips on something I should change in these systems?

Does there need to be a graphics card? There's not going to be any gaming done on this system whatsoever. It's strictly for Office use inside of warehouse.

it would still speed up the system

looks good, but those BX200 are not really worth it IMO, i'd get 750/850 EVO

No, it would be utterly useless.

Budget is likely a guideline. They'd probably be happier if you managed to save them money by building cheaper systems.

I'd go with Intel NUC's, or something similar, with large SSD's and 16GB of RAM. Cheap and very compact.

I also wouldn't go with anything wireless for peripherals. No one wants to say "hey, office manager, have any more AA's kicking around? Mine are dead." It's an added unwelcome expense.

There's a $40 price difference between an 850 EVO and the BX200. The BX200 will be perfect for what they're going to be using their systems for. It's a masonry business anyway, they just need good systems for doing what file work they will be doing.

I thought about NUC but through Amazon the NUC kit starts at a price higher than what the tower itself would cost and the keyboard is honestly subject to change. The keyboard is literally going to be walk into a best buy and pick out what you want. I'm just using that keyboard mouse combo as like a baseline of the price type thing. 

 

But honestly, the guy doesn't know anything about computers, I asked him for a price and after arguing with him for like 15 minutes he finally just said I want to spend at least $750 on each computer but no more than $100 on each so I set $800 for each system and since he said $100 max I figured that could just be used for other things he may need to go with them. I personally know the people I'm doing this for so I made sure to get everything clear on the budget.
