You still have not provided enough information:

1) Do you want to replace 1 server or all servers?
2) Do you want to move functions from 1 or more servers to the new?
3) What functions do each server perform?
4) If you are also going to provide file shares, what size is your
current storage and what do you expect for the next 2 years?
5) What backup process do you use?
6) Do you have licensing already in place?
7) What access to professional IT Consultants do you have?
