How viable would it be to run a home server in a VM on your main PC that is occasionally also used for high performance activities like gaming. I do have 12 cores and 64GB Ram and I would not mind parting with 4C/16GB and maybe the onboard GPU (video decoding) but I dont know how the rest of the system might be influenced if there is heavy IO or other stuff.

Proxmox is good for this. You can have a Windows VM with GPU passthrough. Then you can add any other VMs or LXCs to your heart’s content.
