Advice: Vm host and light gaming pc under $1k

[chubert]

As title says Im looking into building a pc to host vm's(3 or 4) for development/school purposes and light gaming.

From my understanding the main thing needed is plenty of Ram and CPU cores to go around for each vm, vtd, and plenty of ssd storage.

Is there anything else that I should consider when selecting my parts, or other resources a VM needs?
If you can, could you also post a pc build?

Thank you! Sorry for nooby questions

try this. also keep in mind that you can change to a 240GB SSD and get a separate NAS or WD Black or something like that. or a WD Red

*unintentially sort of themed.
