Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to run one or more Virtual machines on a computer that all use the same input at the same time. For example, if i had one virtual machine open i would have two cursors (one on the VM, and one on my normal desktop). Could i move both cursors with one mouse at the same time? Same goes for the keyboard. Furthermore, any good guides i should take a look at? I have done some research on the internet, but unfortunately not a lot of success. I want to experiment with running multiple Guild Wars 2 clients, to make farming and my use of time more efficient. I would appreciate any information regarding VM's you know Kind Regards, Vincent

I would go for the MSI's card, just because I trust that manufacturer more. Although both cards are really good.

It is not hard to do when you know what to do. You just have to do plenty of research. There are also various kits from EKWB and Alphacool available that provide all the parts you need so you dont forget anything. It is pretty expensive, can begin from around 200 to in the thousands. Though IMO worth it because I love building them. They can be loud, but so can air coolers. It all depends on the amount of fans that you have to mount on top of the radiators you buy. For a CPU only loop, one or two 120/140mm sized radiators will provide good cooling. You dont have to start out with a large radiator, you can always add more. As for pumps, it depends on which one. The cheaper, DDC pumps tend to be louder and have a shorter life span. While the more powerful , D5 pumps are more silent and durable. But they are more expensive. Maintanance is not hard at all, if you choose the right coolant. I recommend the ready-to-go coolants from EKWB, because they have everything you need. If you dont have the right anti growth chemicals in your loop, gunk can build up in your waterblocks. Which is something you dont want. TL;DR Buy a quality AIO cooler

The more noise is not true. If you don't overclock, you can set your fan speeds to the lowest or even off. That kit includes a DDC pump, and while it's a pretty good pump it is not very quiet. The D5 is more powerful, and probably a little overkill, but will certainly produce less noise. Plus the D5 pumps tend to have a longer life span than the DDC.

Thats not glue but thermal paste. Furthermore, its not THAT fast of a processor. The only way to find more about it is to find the model number.

Since Adobe software primarily makes use of CPU power and RAM capacity, this may be an area worth upgrading. I would recommend upgrading the CPU and Motherboard to something like a i5 6600k and an ASUS / MSI / Gigabyte motherboard that has the features you need. Reason for these three brands is because I've had experience with products of those companies in the past, and they have never disappointed me and many other customers. With the i5 6600k, you also will make the jump to DDR4 RAM, so you will have to upgrade that aswell. Prices for DDR4 have gone down dramatically, and are only a little bit more expensive than the older DDR3. While you make this jump, you can go for a larger capacity, that will make multitasking way easier. The video card is fine, though if you do get into gaming/play more intensive games in the future you can drop in a newer graphics card that won't be bottlenecked by the CPU. I see you already have a very good SSD, so no upgrade options for storage.

What laptop do you have?

Not sure where you got that bottleneck idea from, but I think you are confused with the fact that some motherboards can't boot from NVMe drives. And besides, it's not like you will notice the speed above 500mb/s since the drive is very likely to be bottlenecked by another component.

Open "NVIDIA Control Panel" > "3D Settings" > "Manage 3D Settings" > "Global Settings"a. Power management mode - Prefer maximum performanceb. Vertical sync- Offc. Threaded optimization - offd. Triple buffering - off Does that make any difference?

What is the setting for your power plan in windows? Make sure it is set to high performance.

You didnt connect your monitor to your motherboard did you?

There is no full cover waterblock for that GPU. The universal + heatsinks will have to do.

4690k / 4790k will work just fine. Even though prices are about the same for the cpu's (comparing to the 5820k), the x99 motherboards cost alot more and you are looking at spending at least 100$ more if you go for x99. There will always be a bottleneck, it also depends on the program, but the i5 4690k / i7 4790k will support that card just fine.

Don't use anything above an 7870 with that psu, just dont.

As for pump, I highly recommend using just one D5. People don't realize how powerful these pumps actually are, especially the D5. It is more than capable of driving your loop. They are also quieter , and have a much longer lifespan then their younger brothers such as de DDC. Since you might be a little limited in terms of space in that case, you might want to consider a pump+res combo so you don't have to figure out where to mount your pump (especially if you take a duo D5 pump). Don't know too much about this case, so you will have to figure out where to mount those. Speaking of manufacturer, you can never go wrong with EKWB. They are the best when looking for quality and design. I never used Bitspower fittings, since they are overpriced IMO, but I've heard (and seen :P) great things about them and experts such as Singularity Computers and JayzTwoCents recommend them as well. Since this is your first loop, and I see you are doing hard line tubing, I recommend you ordering a little more tubing then you actually need (so you can re-do a bend in case you screw up or something like that). And take your time, that's most important. The links you provided don't work for me, but a double check on the inner and outer diameter of the fittings and tubing can never hurt I can't see anything you are doing wrong.
