Office PC Build. Any opinions before we buy?

[jhoff1801]

Hello,

We wanted to build a higher end office PC that is overkill for just about any task. Any suggestions to improve? We had concerns about the motherboard and if it could support two monitors at once and if the case and PS were the best bang for your buck. We don't care about inside aesthetics aside from cable management.

Thanks!

for the memory i recomend 32gb if this is for work. depending on what u do especially if it is photo shop u will need 32 gb to have fresh looks. also u can get a better harddrive for $56 on ebay with 3TB which is something i highly recomend so u never run out of space.

You need graphic card for your Ryzen build.

That’s what I was thinking on how they didn’t put the specs for thar

We wouldn't be utilizing a GPU for any games or graphics intensive programs. How would we need a GPU if it is a Ryzen?

Nevermind, I see now that Ryzen processors don't have any integrated graphics.. I chose Ryzen because I heard you couldn't get better processors for the price point. Would it be worth switching to intel or buying a cheaper GPU?

True, either than that what I recommended is what I think is good for work

If you add cheap graphic card to current Ryzen build then the price probably will be close to Intel i5-8400 (6 core) build. Ryzen 1600 cooler already has thermal paste so you don't need to buy extra. Same for Intel. Tough call for you to make.
