What should I do with spare PC? (alien.top)

I have a gaming PC that’s been sitting around and have been thinking about finding ways to use it.

Specs:

CPU: i9 9900K
RAM: 64 GB DDR4
GPU: RX6700

My “homelab” - if you can even call it that - is pretty basic. I have:

RPi 4 running Pi-Hole and TeslaMate
Synology DS218 to backup phones and pcs

Should I repurpose my old gaming PC to a Proxmox machine and run everything off that 1 machine?

What else can/should I consider hosting?
