2 Gamers, 1 PC

[SeanWilkes87]

I want to try Linus' 2 Gamers 1 PC build: 2 Gaming Rigs, 1 Tower - Virtualized Gaming Build Log

 

Is it possible to do this with my current computer, without losing my data? My daughter is getting into gaming, and instead of building her a full system, I'd rather just add on to mine. She sits directly on the opposite side of my office, so USB extensions and HDMI can literally be routed through a curtain lol. She's 10 and her games aren't really graphically demanding, and I feel like this would be a cheaper solution than me building her a PC of her own.

 

Thanks in Advance.

 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:  Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, CoD Modern Warfare, NBA2K21, GTA5

Current Setup: Ryzen 5 3600, ASUS B350 Strix F-Gaming, G.Skill 32GB 3600MHz, 1x500GB Seagate FireCuda M.2, 2x2TB Seagate FireCuda 5400RPM HDDs (Raid 0), 1x8TB Seagate Barracuda Compute 7200RPM, EVGA BQ 650W Power Supply, Corsair H50 Water Cooling Kit, NZXT H500

Parts I Plan on Purchasing: Additional 8TB Seagate Barracuda Compute 7200RPM (to add parity), 2x8TB Seagate IronWolf 7200RPM HDD (upgrade for the 2x2TB Seagate HDDs [switching to raid 1]) , 1x1TB Seagate FireCuda 520 M.2 (upgrade), EVGA GTX 1650, Corsair 750D (I don't think this is necessary, but I know I can't get 3 GPUs in my current case), & EVGA 850W PSU.

Id just use aster on windows. Then you can do this with a single graphics card, and keep your current install of windows. You won't have to change any parts, just give the software a shot.

Really? I've never even heard of this witchcraft lol. I'm going to check it out. Thanks.

Since I'm sure I'll be splitting bandwidth, could I say run some GTA5 while she's on FortNite?

Would you happen to have a link to the software? The one I found won't allow me to open the website.
