If your work does a lot of number crunching then the 6 core would be justified, if not, go for the 4 cores (assuming you are trying to get a cheaper build). And since the system will be used for work, you might want to invest in a SSD, 128 gigs atleast.

Other than the two things above, everything is cool :)
