You could get some other mobos. For instance the MSi 890GXM-G65 is mATX and not very cheap. If you want CF, you can use the ASRock 870 EXTREME3. The Sapphire HD5670 should be cheaper. You can go with two kinds of PSUs and also let them pick the case from a small number of cases.

These builds are all over the place. Two are low end, two are mid line.

What do you plan on doing with your computer?

it's not my computer, it's rather builds I would offer people, I'm trying to start a small online business here. Thats why there's no super high end system, and they're sort of all gaming systems, on 2 tiers :)

well right off the bat I can tell you the power supply should be better. You can't have people calling for broken or unstable computers some time down the road.

Look for Corsair, Antec, or Seasonic

thanks for the suggestion, but about Intel builds, are those I listed good or is there anyway to improve on those builds?

I want to know how good are the combinations of
CPU+Mobo, i've chosen

Decent balanced builds, though I think you should really tier the PSUs and move the case of the higher-end build more upmarket.

Maybe change the i3 builds to the H55DM-USB3.

I hate to be the rain on your day but, if you can't tell if your setups are any good and you really don't know the parts all that well how are you gonna be running your own business? To me if I were to start a little business like that I doubt I would be on a forum asking for help with stuff like their configurations. A true techie would know his stuff before trying a venture like what you are planning.

That really hurt my heart............ DX
T-T, I was just asking for comments and criticism................................... T-T

But seriously, any mobo cheaper than this for the same spec? it's for a HTPC
