Home lab setup feedback/suggestions

Hi everyone!
I recently started a new job where i will have to deal with VMware... Because of this i would like to set up a home lab for practice purposes. So far i came up with this components and i hope to get some feedback from you guys.
Case + Mobo: ASRock Deskmini 110
CPU: i3-6100
RAM: 1x 16GB DDR4 (32GB supported)
SSD: 64GB M.2 Transcend
HDD: 500GB Travelstar
I want to buy this setup twice, to configure a cluster and maybe later add a third host.
What do you think about it?

budget: up to 700-800 for 2-3 hosts.
virtualization: esxi on all hosts and vcenter for management. on this i will install various VMs.
CPU: dualcore with hyperthreading and 3,6Ghz. it also supports vt-d/vt-x
HDD: a standard hdd. nothing special. 5400rpm...
a real server is too big for me. i would like to keep it as small a possible.

Not sure if will work for the budget tho
I strongly suggest you ditch the HDD. It's all about IOPS. Get a SSD.
You can also do nested ESXi. I use a i5 with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD using VMware Workstation with Windows 10. No issues.
You can get ready made ESXi images at http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2015/12/deploying-nested-esxi-is-even-easier-now-with-the-esxi-virtual-appliance.html

Based on your the links in your previous posts I picked two options. Intel NUC6i5SYH vs Shuttle DS87. On the one hand Intel NUC6i5SYH supports up to 32 GB RAM but with only one Ethernet adapter. On the other hand Shuttle DS87 supports only up to 16 GB RAM but it has two Built-in Ethernet adapters. What is more important the amount of supported RAM or the number of network interfaces? Could you please give me some advice in this regards.
Thanks.
