Opening Up A Gaming Cafe, Need Help!

[deadmanation]

Hi guys,

I'm opening up a gaming cafe really soon. They are going to be around 65-75 pc's overall. I am about the list the items/specs of the pc (all the pc's are going to have the same specs)

The following are

1. CPU - i5-7400
2. GPU - MSI/ASUS GTX 1050Ti
3. Motherboard - MSI H110M PRO CD
4. RAM - 8GB CRUCIAL 2400MHZ
5. HD - 1TB SEAGATE 7200
6. Power Supply - 500W RAIDMAX
7. CASE - COUGUR MX300
8. Monitor - BenQ XL2411Z

Can you please tell me how are the specs for the latest games as it's going to be a gaming cafe.

Thanks alot guys.
Cheers.

It's better you go with Ryzen processors, because those i5's may not last as long. I'm sure you'd want long-lasting specs, and those 7th gen i5's won't last more than a year or two. Go with the Ryzen 5 1600 with a B350 motherboard. Also, 16 GB RAM is usually a better spec for gaming. The power supply could also be better, perhaps one of the new CX450 with the grey labels(don't get the ones with the green label, they're bad). The rest is fine.

I don't recommend the new CX 2017 non modular units. They are either made by GW or CWT, the GW platform has been reviewed and falls behind the CXM 2015, the CWT version hasn't been reviewed.

I do suggest the CXM 2015 models however.

I love Ryzen but this is some baloney right here. If you're talking about quality, no, they are not going to fail that quick. But I bet you are talking about the fact they are quad core. If so you are still completely wrong. There is no chance in hell or heaven or earth for that matter that in 2 years quad core processors will not game fine. Not a chance.

Now where I do agree is I would jack up the stats a bit as the systems will stay more relevant for longer. But this system is more than fine to play anything at high graphics at 1080p these days, and likely will continue on for years.

Can you link me to the review for that? I have been watching for one but haven't seen any, all I keep running in to is the cxm from 2015.

If you are planning on building a lot of computers for this, it might be a good idea to first build and test a few sample systems to better determine which combination of parts might get you the best performance within your budget, and to ensure there are no compatibility issues.

Also, it's worth pointing out that Intel will likely be launching their 8th-gen Coffee Lake CPUs in a matter of weeks, and those should offer more processor cores and higher clock speeds for the money than their existing parts. Their new i3 processors will have 4 cores like the current i5s, while their i5 and i7 processors will have 6 cores. That might be something worth waiting for if it's within the time constraints of this project, though you would of course want to check reviews when they come out to see how they compare to their current CPUs.

As for RAM, 8GB would likely be enough for now, though sometime within the next couple years an upgrade to 16GB might be necessary for newer games. If there are empty slots for RAM on the motherboard, an upgrade should be relatively easy, so long as you don't run into any compatibility issues. While buying 16GB now might be an option, RAM is currently priced rather high, with the prices actually increasing over the last year, so it might be better to not buy more than you have to for the time being, so long as the motherboards you use have room for expansion in the future without replacing the original sticks.

I don't want to start yet another Ryzen vs Intel debate here. We'll see in two years, I guess.

There is no debate, besides take a look at my Gaming PC before you decide what side I am on.

Telling someone that 4 core i5's will be useless for gaming in 2 years is straight up bad advice and bad information, period.

There isn't a review for the unit. Though we do know the unit either be manufactured by Great wall or CWT, The Great Wall version uses the same platform as the Riotoro Onyx, which has been reviewed here.
The CWT version has been teared down but reviewed yet. A tear down is found here.

Because of the high risk involved in buying this series (GW version performs under CXM 2015, CWT version unsure), and the lack of modularity I suggest sticking with the Cosair CXM 2015 model if found around the same price.

Jonny GURU sent some of the units to Aris to test around 3 weeks ago, so we can expect a review in some time.

I suggest following OrionPSUdb, which list platforms of PSU models: http://www.orionpsudb.com/corsair
