Build for office

[Quadr0]

So my dad needs about 5 new pcs to upgrade his current office ones. I do have access to a micro center and use USD. He wants in the range of 400-450 per machine. He needs them to be fast for specialized file apps (these aren't too demanding) and web browsing. He wants fast performance so I got him an overkill 8 gbs of ram and 525 gbs of SSD storage. Right now he doesn't need a dual monitor setup, but I can get a cheap graphic card if he wants 2 monitors on any of his systems. Let me know if you know of any changes that I should make or completely redo it.

I thought Seasonic was one of the brands to avoid while picking power supplies.

Someone I know told me that. I thought cooler master and evga are the best.

coolermaster's low end power supplies usually suck hard, and evga's NEX and N1 lineups aren't good. neither of them make power supplies too, they rebrand them from other companies or get other companies(seasonic is one of them) to make their psus for them. i'd advise you not to listen to whoever told you that, he either doesn't know what he's doing or he's a troll.

K thanks a lot. Built my PC quite recently and my dad was wondering if I could build them for him. i said I would make them cheaper than a prebuilt so he said sure and I would get some cash for it,

i don't see why not. i won't worry much about the B1 since there's no GPU in the pc and it's way more than capable of handling a lone G4400, but try seasonic's s/m12ii or corsair cx450/550m if you want better quality.

that's a pretty good build tbh, you picked pretty well. really overpaid for the WD black though, a WD blue or seagate barracuda is half price and would have done just as well.

My uncle who got me into pcs likes warrantys and this has a 5 year warranty. So I picked out a blue and he said get a black because of the 5 year warranty.

SeaSonic 350W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply What about this one. Has 80+ bronze which is nice because the computers will be on for the majority of the day if not all the time basically.

not in stock at superbiiz, and newegg's pricing would be too high imo. can try antec earthwatts green if you don't wanna spend the money on an s12ii.

I dont think I feel comfortable building inside of a case that small. I was thinking matx for the size plus airflow. Unless its not that hard building inside a case that small.

Do you have a max. budget? Also what are these office PC being used for? Rendering or just the web and stuff like that.

That is totally untrue, Seasonic is probably one of the best. I don't know of any of their PSUs that aren't really good quality, whereas other companies like evga have good PSUs (like g2 and G3 PSUs) but also bad ones (like most of their <500 watt PSUs). There is no Seasonic psu out there that I know of that I wouldn't recommend.

[VIVO-US]

Seasonic is a pioneer in high quality, high efficiency power supplies, and are known as one of the best out there.  It's impossible to make something like this 100% failure proof though, so if the very first one your friend tried failed, it could've left a bad impression.

 

EVGA's less expensive power supplies are made by HEC/Compucase.  Their high quality PSUs are made by Superflower, Seasonic, and FSP (all very good), and some of their middle-grade PSUs are made by Andyson (not the best, but still good).  Some of Cooler Master's power supplies are also pretty good, but you do have to check professional reviews to weed out the good from the bad.

 

Watch out for super low priced "bargain" power supplies!  Some of them might as well be Tier negative 50.  Here's a good example: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=324

Don't need a GPU for dual monitors, onboard graphics for a motherboard will do 2 monitor displays.

Corsair Vengenance might be a little cheaper...

 

Here is a list that I created,

it's $5 more, but the onboard gpu of the mobo allows for triple monitor displays.

Can store files from programs on the 1tb, and files and os on the m.2

May save some if you can repurpose Optical drives from Old Pc's, I imagine your dad doesn't need dvd-rw.
