Do you have an array (iSCSI) or AN Other to connect to? If not, good luck running 20 VM's on a 250GB SSD.
I'd also consider a better PSU (And I have the one you've quoted)

Just seen the 1TB Drive, I'll stand down. Wouldn't recommend 20 VM's on that though

but why GeIL EVO Veloce Hot-Rod Red 32GB ?

2 sets of them (64GB) is £20 cheaper than the 64GB Best kit, same speeds aswell.. Just saving you money.

Like asked above, do you need a big mech drive for some of those VM's?

Ahh right, nope not looking for extra SDDs or HD at the moment but will get in like a year time.

I might just pay 20 £ extra for 1 64gb kit because of compatibility issues to be honest.

I am not a big fan of Radeon but since you suggested me I am going to a bit research and order it, thanks :)

Aslong as 250GB is enough for all your VM's.

There will be no issue, its exactly the same as buying the 64gb kit, just in two seperate boxes...
