Building a PC...maybe

I'm flirting with this idea of kicking it up to the next tier of cores.

My buddy bought a 6700, not the K at the time and the performance is great, but I waited about 4 months and thought about where I wanted to go. Plain and simple, I want LOTS of cores.

My kids will be old enough soon to have their own computers and I'm thinking of just creating some VMs for them. So basically my desktop is going to eventually be a server running WSUS/SCCM, either VMware or Microsoft VM, proxy server, Plex (for video/audio media share) and more. I figure with a beefy multicore i7 (I can even go with an E5 XXXX server CPU) I can't go wrong.

Then, that will give me an excuse to build another PC for myself. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

EDIT: Not that coding needs a lot of CPU, but I've been learning C#. I have to admit, Microsoft Virtual Essentials is a pretty neat free program.
