This is more of a development environment labs, R&D type of stuff.

I need 16 cores. The SIEM need at least min 8 cores with 32GB ram. Plus those vms for security onions, pfsense, elastic search.

Greetings, AMD epyc platform is expensive, so I am planning to build a virtualization around Ryzen 9 3950x with 64GB RAM. Please advise best motherboard, ATX case, etc (specs) to build that will run on proxmox, will have several VMs tailored for security appliance (one for pfsense, security onions, and SIEM) that will run 24/7. Ideally design for small, medium business solutions - best bang for bucks. Design for security appliance solution running 24/7: What would be the best specs for Ryzen 9 3950x plafform with a budget of around $3K? What would be the best specs for AMD Threadripper platform with a budget of around $5k? Cheers.
