Building a pc for Gaming centre. Need Help.

[deadmanation]

Hi everyone.

I'm opening up a gaming cafe in the Middle East region. I am building around 60-70 New computers. I have some specs in my mind but I got alot of negative comments regarding that. Here are my specs but please feel free to change them or modify them as you like but my budget for one pc will be around 550-650$ (excluding the Monitor/SSD/Windows)

CPU - i5 7400
Motherboard - MSI H110 Pro
GPU - MSI 1050Ti or the Gigabyte 1050Ti 6GB
HD - SEAGATE 7200RPM 1TB
RAM - 8GB 2400
PSU - Corsair VS450W
Case - Cougar MX300

I'm looking for running them 24/7 As it is going to be a 24 hours gaming cafe. Should run all the games in good fps. Would want a long lasting computer. The monitor will be either BenQ XL2411z or XL2720z.

Thank you everyone.
Cheers.

And yes, I have around 2 weeks time to start building the computers. Should I wait for the new i3 as I heard they are going to be really good? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

for gaming Cafe, i don't think u would need an i5, even the g4560 / Ryzen 3 build is fine
for the PSU it's advised u go with a better quality one, something like CX450M should suffice
the GPU is great, although for cafe build the 1050 might be better price/performance choice (since most people only play online games there anyway)
and also, from what i know, Cafe PC doesn't need individual HDD for each PC, they usually use a game server in order to share the games from the master PC [at least that's how it works in most gaming cafe in my country]

The thing it that the other gaming cafes in my city have an i7 6700 and GTX 970 card. Which will surly out run my pc. That's the reason I'm having to think to upgrade mine as its a competition here.

each gaming cafe had their own marketing target u know, a cafe with PCs like that, had huge investor backing them up (or the owner's just plain rich) and usually targetted for the high end player (maybe those who plays on AAA titles on gaming cafe, dunno why they would do that though, since owning those games should mean they should had enough cash to spare on a PC)

depending on where u live, u can try to target the middle-low class instead, since taking the notch up and competeting with the gaming cafe u just mentioned is just plain absurd (i mean, ur stacking a new gaming cafe with budget i5 + budget gpu against a probably much older cafe armed with a high-end i7 (in it's time) + high end GPU (in it's time)

unless u had more bucks to spend on each PC, i suggest u change the marketing target
[after all, with lower spec PC, u can cost the consumer at much lower price, therefore, appealing in your own way not everyone had the money to afford playing at high-end cafe all the time]

your cafe should be much more appealing to the e-sport player imo
since both G4560 + 1050 and i7 6700 + 970 can play e-sport title just fine, people would usually opt for the cheaper option instead
just make sure u put extra effort on the comfortness, service, and all stuff like that (in order to compete)
