My previous post in new builds and planning seems to have been misunderstood since i didn't give a budget, so this time, i will explain again. Basically, my work computer died(one in profile), the storage is still recoverable but the rest is all dead (i tested for hours) i need a completely new build (yes storage too, anyone here know if i can somehow use a ssd that has windows on it on another computer and still have it work the same?) and basically the entire set up. My company is moving and they are selling all of our office furniture, so we will be buying new stuff - i need a table, monitor stands, speakers, keyboard, mouse, chair, at least 2 monitors (they should look sleek) one of those huge mouspads and any other productivity office stuff you guys think would help

 

The max budget for all of this is 7000 dollars CAD - i would appreciate it if you followed this as this thread will be active for at least several days

 

also, i would like the colour scheme to be black and white and a case similar to the nzxt s340 elite or h440 or corsair carbide 400 white. Please no double sided windows as my cable management is decent at best and a window showcasing it would be catasrophic

 

also, could you guys include some case fans too, the led ones, dont care about brand - just for aesthetics

 

this build will be used for programming so lots of ram and cpu power - the gpu should just be there for aesthetics

mulitple monitors so size doesn't really matter - id say at least 24 inches - i don't really need 4k so  1440p and use money saved on other parts of the set up

Does the table and stuff in the budget too? 

yes, although 7000 CAD isn't really the max - since my last post got really misunderstood when i said the sky's the limit but don't go too overkill - i got 500 dollar builds :P 

 

i'd say 9 grand is the ABSOLUTE maximum - but please, no intel extreme edition processors, stick with k or xeons

thanks, i may end up using the 6800k or the 6900k is one better than the other in single core performance? obviously the 6900k has more cores but will it do better in things that don't use all the cores?

I think 6800k will perform better a bit. But Ryzen is releasing soon
