How many vms?

 

You could use something like a 6800k, dedicate four threads to a gaming vm, and the other eight threads to vms.

well your pretty much set for intensive CPU programs for years but I would get a 1080 or a Titan X pascal if you really are going that overkill

For the case you can use Enthoo Evolv ATX , they have solid quality and very goog cable management . 

For the psu , you can get something like 1000 W PSU if you are planning on adding second 1070 . If not you can stick with 850 W PSU . You can try EVGA SuperNova 850 G2 .

Corsair AIO liquid coolers are pretty good . The Evolv ATX has perfect options for liquid coolers up to 360 in the front . If you are going with 240mm cooler i will recommend Corsair H110i GTX , if you decide to pick a 360mm cooler because of the heat that the cpu produces you can try Fractal Desing Kelvin S36 .

I recommend you to check for compatibility before buying any of the parts. Have a nice day

Prices :

Enthoo Evolv ATX - around 170 $

EVGA 850 G2 - around 140 $

Corsair H110i GTX - 110 - 150 $

Also Exsi will have issues with an Nvidia GTX gpu, you would need a quadro, or any AMD card to use gpu passthrough. Other hypervisors like unraid, or xenserver should be fine though, but I would suggest a cheap gpu just for the the hypervisor, and other vms.
