I won't be doing anything too crazy with them, just hosting some Valheim, a PLEX server, and a couple VMs for now

I'm happy to spend that much extra for better performance, especially if it helps avoid the long run annoyance of the heat and noise.

What would you recommend I keep my eye out for as an alternative?

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!
