It is useless to wait 7 hours and 7500 ite, 15 min and 150 ite with intel denoising + resize to 1080p is more than enough.
Handling the models is about gpu memory, if you can't fit the scene in, then it's gonna start rendering with CPU. Unfortunately multiple GPUs won't help with that since it always tries to fit into single one. For 4-5 models I think you'd need at least GTX 1080 and that's already around 500 bucks of your budget.. and if they have some higher resolution textures, hair, clothing + scene around them, it might still not be enough. Shit adds up. You might be better of learning some tricks to compose image and render characters separately then, or other tricks to reduce memory consumption of the scene.
maybe for 3-4 characters?
Composite the shot, do it in stages.
My point was that I wouldn't blow 500-700 bucks on a not even decent pc now but rather spend a year learning all the stuff and save up at least twice that money. Because if you are building PC for rendering, unless you for some reason want to render with CPU, GPU is gonna be the most expensive part of that PC.. roughly around 40% the price of the whole thing, and that only if you are not buying two GPUs. So you now would either have a shitty PC with somewhat decent GPU, or somewhat decent PC with a shitty GPU (and that only if you are not buying a monitor and speakers and all that shit on top of that). And both of these options would get you into trouble later, when you'd realize you want to invest more and you'd then have to invest to both CPU and GPU either way and probably additional ram, or even the PSU if it didn't have enough juice and you wanted to use both your old and new GPU. Not talking about the motherboard you would buy now to save up not supporting the parts you'd want to upgrade later. So you would find yourself in this situation year or two from now: My PC is once again not good enough for what I need now, but to upgrade I need to basically change everything.
R - Don't buy shitty PC now, save up, buy a good one a year later.
I understand that, but I can't have my pc explode anytime I try to load more than 3 characters. And the Pre-render cycle is SO LONG. Like I can't be waiting 1hr to do 1 Render when I have to do 30.My point was that I wouldn't blow 500-700 bucks on a not even decent pc now but rather spend a year learning all the stuff and save up at least twice that money.

*That was TL : DR obviously
You are not gonna get yourself much of an upgrade from that with 500-700 bucks PC, honestly that's a PC I'd build for a slightly more demanding office accountant.
Looks good enough to start! It's hard to say a lot from single renders.

Sad truth.
Your main problem with that would be (apart from those ugly ass rainbow fans lol) a 4gb memory GPU. I got 8 gb and sometimes I barely fit 5 characters into scene without reducing textures in the scene and all that jazz. Also it has 1280 cuda cores, those are the ones daz uses for iray rendering. I don't know how many is that in that specific price range, you might wanna research that. But obviously the more, the better, the faster the renders will be.
what are you looking at? 1280 cuda? 4gb? This has:
It won't have those specs in the description, you want to look up specs of the graphic cards and find how many CUDA cores and how big memory it has. This one has 4gb and 1280 cuda cores.
