Mobo any that is cheap.
RAM - 4gb or 8gb also can, see which one more of value.
OS/OFFICE (DIY i buy cheong, BUILDIN best to include)
PSU - Any cheap one will do.

Dependson situation... If buy for company or to be shared with a lot of people. Buy pre built. Got warranty.. Less headache... No need to troubleshoot yourself

DIY cheaper, but any problem, is your saikang to troubleshoot and rma.

Built in for enterprise not gonna be very cheap, but with warranty to solve your problem.

The in between solution, can find boutiques like Typhoon System (AMD based mostly) and Aftershock (Intel based mostly) and Dreamcore (both got do, focus is ITX builds). These got warranty, but you gotta check with them what is the policy and can they support onsite for warranty, since you're getting 5 pieces in one go, they should be able to nego a bit for you?

The boutiques I mentioned got do enterprise rigs. Especially Typhoon.

My opinion is boutique for your use case and concern. As, getting 5 pieces, I don't think it for personal use?
