I think this is a good place to ask this question...

 

I would like to put my computer in another room (the furnace room with all the servers and networking stuff) and use it in my office (they share a wall). the computer gets super hot and the fans are loud. I am a MS Consultant and need to not have so much background noise, but I love how fast my computer is lol. I have never used thunderbolt, but have the capability, I just dont know what all I need. 

 

I have 2 monitors, a 4k and an 1440p ultrawide

wireless logitech keyboard and mouse

blue yeti mic

and will need to use usb ports here and there.
