i’d recommend against using 4 sticks of ddr5. if u do, you’d have to sacrifice the speed at which it runs. you wouldn’t want to go too cheap on a motherboard with a 7950x. do u want atx or matx? what type of features do u want?

also as most AM5 motherboard just have 2-3 pci slots, i would prefer a motherboard with intel LAN that is recognized by ESXi 8.

Can Ryzen 7000 handle more than 128G ? Just go with 5950x, ASrock Rack.., or any other mobo, but You would need GPU. 3x 5700G in Deskmini with 64G would do the trick also
