2022 VFIO Build Check

Build Ready

###Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

It's finally time to upgrade my 4770k, In that time I finally acquired a few degrees and plenty of adult money. Spend most of my time in linux these days but still want to destroy games and VFIO seems like a great option for anything I can't get to run in linux.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) 4k 144Hz, VR ready, Future-proof as much as possible.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

Around 5k

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

USA

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.

I'm slightly concerned about cooling everything. I've planned to go heavy on air driven, don't think I want to do a custom loop and I don't think I want/can cram 3 AIO radiators in there for everything. I plan to use the 3090 in the Windows VM and the 6900 XT in Linux. I've tried to get an open case and load it with fans but want to make sure this doesn't overheat. Any advice?
