Thank you so much for the advice.

Yes 570 is much cheaper almost 40% off from 1650S. But I have to buy from Amazon as no local dealer. How about 2nd hand, that's plenty in my country ...

But I just want to avoid 2nd card as I heard some of them may be for Bitcoin mining and old and easy to be broken without warranty....

Get a 570 or even a 560 that supports zero rpm mode. You will never hear them fan unless you power up some 3D stuff like a game.

CPU: ok VMs and shit. Then 8 cores are good. Go 3700x. 8 zen2 Cores! You Don’t need the 3800x that’s only a bit faster clocks wich produce more heat.

cooler: NH-D15. Beat in class and you won’t hear it.

You can find cheaper video cards, if you don't care about the performance.

For example, look for HD 5450 , HD 6450 cards or similar, R5 230 etc great for a linux or some server where you don't care about graphics performance.

HD 5450 : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XFX-AMD-Radeon-HD-5450-1024-MB-HD-545X-ZCH2-Graphics-Card/202895081356

Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 5450 (1024 MB) (11166-51-20G) Graphics Card 4895106263000 | eBay

XFX Radeon HD 5450 1GB DDR3 PCI-E Graphics Card HD-545X-ZC LP HDMI DVI VGA | eBay

MSI Radeon HD 5450 (1024 MB) (912V234016) Graphics Card - Passive Quiet Heatsink 816909080872 | eBay

HD 6450 is about same performance.

Downside is you may not have Windows 10 drivers for these, except the ones that come with Windows.

on nVidia's camp you have the GT 210 :

ASUS NVIDIA GEFORCE 210 GT218 512 MB PCI-EX16 HDMI/DVI/VDA | eBay

NVIDIA GEFORCE 210 GT218 512 MB DVI/HDMI/VGA PCI-EX16 9546703340353 | eBay

EVGA 01G-P3-1313-KR GeForce GT 210 1GB DDR3 PCI-E Graphics Card & Warranty 843368015367 | eBay

NVIDIA GEFORCE 210 GT218 PCI-EX16 512MB HDMI/DVI/VGA 9546703340353 | eBay

But like I said, most RX 570 cards are passive when you're not gaming. If you want also gaming performance then RX 570 is about the best performance for the price.
