Will this be overkill or otherwise not recommended for someone who is new and just starting to learn?

My goal is to have something I can grow into, but initially I’d like to host a few VMs, game servers, and a have place to store content. I’d also like to host a PLEX server in the future as well but might buy a separate piece of hardware for it specifically down the road. Thanks in advance for taking the time to help a newbie!

I would love this rig except that DELL runs PERC on all of them, hardware raid is not your friend with Proxmox

Living in a third world country renders that… challenging… but then again, my homelab is still running an Intel S5000 so would gladly have the Dell and just do Debian ext4 on hardware RAID and then install Proxmox on that
