I have been into code for a little while and have gotten into some heavy duty stuff that my pc right now can not handle. Any recommendations or builds for about 1500-1600 US? This also includes a monitor(s) and the OS. Please link anything you have down below. Thanks

Something that has enough cpu power for compiling code, like maybe an e3-1270v5

My native language is C++

Xeons are better for compiling. They were designed for stuff like compiling. 

But a 6 core 5820k will be better than any Xeon around the same price, especially with some fast RAM and a good SSD
