2 gamers 1 CPU

[Gabe07]

me and my brother have agreed to build a 2 gamers 1 CPU setup with $3000. should I just run the second gamer on a VM or what?

$3000, so you each could get a $1500 rig? Do you have to use a single tower as opposed to two, or perhaps you love the novelty factor.

If you're using the LTT route then a VM will be the way to go. What CPU were you considering?

Honestly they could just buy a case that can support 2 systems.

I am considering a 7820x or a 9900k with two way SLI so each gamer has one GPU

I recommend the 7820x, and also you won't need SLI because the GPus have to work independently whereas SLI has them work together. but also, @Brooksie359had a good idea

Well you use a normal case cause its basically like a normal system.

 

But really, just get 2 systems with that budget, it will be faster, and much easier to setup and worth with. two 1500 dollar systems will be very good.

Personally i'd just build 2 systems  - something like this:

Phanteks enthoo mini XL and Corsair obsidian 1000D come to mind, the obsidian is much more expensive but also has a better layout, both have an ITX as the secondary system.
