Hi all, Just looking for some help!

I have the plan to open a new gaming cafe in UAE. Would be great to get your recommendations of a gaming PC for the tagged specs.

 
Solution
This is what I came up with in terms of a build, taking all comments into consideration. In terms of the os, I’m pretty sure the official one is in a cd/dvd, so I threw an odd in there, although it easily removable. If you can find a usb version (or the official one has a usb in it), then you can skip the odd. Otherwise, here it is

Looks like you’re headed for the top of the line quality. Do you need monitors, peripherals, etc. Or just the Pc itself? I also forgot. Is this gaming cafe going to be like one Pc for however many gamers or one Pc per gamer?

No need of peripherals and monitor. Already bought monitor 95 units of Benq XL2430T.

I want to be run many games on PC. I have the plan to open the gaming cafe with 90 or 100 pc's.

The 8600k is plenty for gaming, and if you want, with the H100i you can reach a pretty good Overclock.

The 16 gigs of RAM will be pretty good for a long time, and will give you the aesthetic look to draw in customers, once coupled with the S340 Black case.

The Evo drive has space for your OS, and select games with the 1 TB drive being for the rest. IF you doing a cloud service, then you can drop the 1 TB to save costs. Same for the OS if you have got a custom software.

The Z370E motherboard comes with Wifi to help keep all of your computers connected and in sync with each other, thus making it easier for you to control.

The main meat of the system is the Strix 1080Ti, which will ensure your systems will power thru all the games to come for many years. It is a beast of a card and will be perfect. It is going to pair well with your BenQ monitors.

If you need more storage you can set up a server or simply swap out the 1 TB for 2 or even 4 TB HDD.

Well, you don’t need a 1080ti for 1080p monitors. Look up the model of the monitor and it’s specs. Also, I’m quite sure many gamers will not be multitasking in a gaming cafe, so six cores may be a bit too much. Although I will agree with the choice in ram and mobo.
 


That is a good point, but for futureproofing, I threw it in. But if he wants to step it down a bit he can throw it down to 1070 like yours, or 1080, and maybe instead of an 8600k, he can put in an 8400. That way the system can last for a bit before another round of upgrades.
