Title says it all. I want to put a second graphics card in my system and run a second gaming PC virtually off of one tower. 3900X is the CPU. Is it possible? Is it viable?

How much patience do you have? 

 

With enough, you can overcomplicate anything.

Got it. Wanted a second PC to box in MMOs. Separate tower it is.

the amount of overheard required to run 2 VMs will give you a very mediocre experience on both machines

That really depends on what you're using as a hypervisor. Some only reduce performance by 1%~3% and can be gamed on quite comfortably but that's not even the main issue. I'm not certain the mainstream AM4 platform supports enabling IOMMU groups for PCI_e device pass-though. Without that this isn't even possible with his hardware.

Don't see what you need? Check the Full List or *PM me, if I haven't made it I'll add it to the list.

*NOTE: I'll only add it to the list if the request is something I know I can do.
