Hi! Set up a Proxmox server with two VMs—a headless Linux host and a Windows 10 guest—and route GPU and USB 3 to the Windows VM. You want the most affordable options, aiming for at least 16 CPU threads, so a 1st or 2nd gen Ryzen should suffice. For budget-friendly motherboards in the 300/400 series, there are decent choices. Ryzen 1/2 processors should work fine for this configuration; you don’t need a 3rd/5th gen chipset. I’ve helped with similar configurations before—just let me know if you need details! Thanks!

You're seeing good performance with your B450M S2H V2 on the GTX970, especially with the R3 3100 and R5 3600.

Thanks for the update. It looks like these models aren't readily available locally, but I'll stay informed about future options.
