You are vastly overspending on the board, cooler and psu. With AM4 being an end of life platform I would suggest a cheaper B550 board like the B550 Aorus Elite AX. You can get a cooler such as the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE for 1/3 of the price of a D15. Also 1000W is major overkill for an 8 core cpu and RTX 3060. You would be fine with 650W. Personally I would switch the 5700G to the 5700X assuming you don't need the onboard gpu for anything ?

Budget? Purchase region?

Thank @lee32uk, for your suggestions. 

 

Nope, I am not planning to use onboard GPU. This will bring the total price down significantly.  

 

I looked it up price between 5700g, and x is not much of a difference unless I'm not looking for the right thing. Does 5700x make performance better?

The 5700g has half the amount of l3 cache as the 5700x

 @The Hope Do you think your suggested build can handle all the 30+ VMs?
