Question I'm building a rig to operate 1-3 gamin stations at a time.

[editor1]

I want to run 0-3 Hyper-V vm's at a time. Should I us m.2 on host and than 3 additional m.2. One for each vm ?
I also want a small mobo/case for portability. Any suggestions ?
I'm thinking of building something like this ;

Except for physical size, M.2/NVMe has NOTHING to do with gaming.

For multiseat gaming....this will not be cheap.

Hyper-V for the clients won't work for this, it does not pass audio.
(unless they've significantly changed it in the last couple of years)

I don't care about audio. I currently am using a Samsung 850 ssd and only 16gb ram(will be going max). What should I do to help increase the loading ? Loading is the same weather I have 1 instance or 3 running at a time.

Presumably gaming stations need audio?

For multiple clients, you REALLY need to upgrade your RAM amount.
For a typical standalone system, 8GB is minimal. VMs are no different.

So, 4x VMs + host...you're looking at 64GB.

What will be the overall use of this system?

Video editing and 3 d2r clients that I'll be controlling with left and right handed mousse and a few foot pedal for casting/healing pot's. I currently am playing this way but the loading is very slow whether I have 1 instances or 3 at a time.

Maybe.. The only difference I see is that there is hard time setting up sound.. And personally I have never had sound for gaming my hole life.. but I wasn't allowed to make noise.

Most sources I ran across say that the performance increases if each vm is assigned a independent drives. What's your thought on this ?
