Need to put together a spec to build a few Office workstations whose main job is to run Win 8.1 & Office 2013 but have got a bit behind with my knowledge of current hardware at the moment. Would appreciate a few suggestions as to where to start.
Only clues I have so far are:
Other than that don't really know where to start. For example are there any barebones available to do the job of is it best to build from scratch. If so which Mobo manufacturer is most suitable to use to make reliable workstations? Many years ago I used to use Asus but stopped that after some support issues, then went to Gigabyte but after a while they let us down by not doing updated drivers for later OSs that were needed.
Only clues I have so far are:
■ AMD CPU with built-in GPU, as long as has DVI out
■ Long lasting and reliable PSU, say Seasonic 550W
■ Say 22" monitor, maybe 24" if budget will stretch to it
■ SSD drive 128Gb - will backup system to a removable USB HDD
