Other details

I want to build a server for a NAS and server to host 2-3 VMs at a time. 

The NAS for media/Iso files, and also for backup of drives. 

For the VM's I want remotely to access the VM's from the server to offload work from my gaming pc.

I know how to build PC's and setup them up, but not sure about Virtualization or the setup of VM's on the server.

Server will be stored in a office away from main computer.

Not sure if I need a GPU for the VM part to work remote?

Does anyone have links, advice or sources to help me flush out my plan?

Looking for feedback.

This is definitely not what I would have gone with. Things you listed aren’t exactly that demanding.

K series cpu is unnecessary

Why did you even put a graphics card in there? You already got a gpu.

This stuff can run on a 200$ office dell from a couple years ago.

 

No need for a gpu literally nothing uses it and you have a igpu also no need for any of this fancy stuff.

 

Just get an 8th gen i5 or better office pc. Put a ssd + 2 hard drives in there. Put the drives in raid 1 or have one bigger and one smaller where the smaller does a file history backup to the bigger one. Also dump some ram in it.

 

Or get like an hp z640, dell t series workstation,... anything that is a workstation with a xepn v3/xeonv4 support.

 

Have a cloud backup solution for important data

 

For the vms proxmox, esxi, unraid, hyper-v,... use whatever you please

 

As is this is not really an efficient system and costs A LOT for very little that you get
