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!

That’s an R730 and the Ciscos are all bids, not flash price, if I see it right.

I am not saying this R720 isn’t overvalued or that he shouldn’t get an R730 instead. I’m saying you are not getting an R740 for this price.
