Hai all, I'm looking to build 6 workstations for an Office that's working with Quick Books and 2-3 monitors per PC. So far my builds are coming out to around $450, and i would like to be around $350.

 

Required specs are 

- I3 Processor or better

- 6-8 GB Ram

- Support for at least 3 monitors on 2 of the PCs and 2 monitors on the other 4

- 1TB HDD

 

Thanks for all the help! I'm literally stuck right now xD

| Processor: Intel Xeon X5675 x2        

| Ram: 30GB      | PSU: 800W Redundant PSU

$387 for an intel variant.

Can probably remove the GPU from that one as i doubt it's much better than the iGPU of the i3 honestly. Then you can't have 2/3 monitors connected so nevermind.

Hahaha, that may still work, they are looking more toward Intel but I do appreciate you putting up the Ryzen setup. It reminded me how affordable they are and I have been looking to upgrade my personal Rig to something more current that can render Photos much quicker than my FX 8350 and also solve my thermal Throttling issue x3
