Budget-end Virtualization?

Given AMD FX-8320e, 16GB RAM, 2 R7 360, 620W Seasonic, and a mid-tower that can handle this parts. Would it make a decent 2 gamers 1 cpu on a budget?

PS: How would unRAID work given our location is prone to internet disruptions? (5-60 mins of downtime, not-so-often, probably happens 5-8 times per month)

Your GPU is lacking too much to do this with normal results..

90% use of it will be with mobas on 1080p, so no need for a Crysis 3 on Ultra capable card

It would basically be 2 4xxx CPUs, or basically 2 750Ks which are overall fine for gaming, you could technically do it, do you already have all the hardware or something? What's your budget if you don't have the hardware?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

I don't specifically have a budget for yet. This plan will be used for my team, 2 sets of 8xxx virtualization PCs and a single 4460 for me (I am the video streamer/recorder of the team)

Well if you aren't doing heavy gaming, you could just get like 2 A8 7650Ks and those will run a game like dota or CS:GO just fine rather than going to a ton of trouble.

2 separate systems? Wouldn't make it more pricey?

Depends, you'd avoid a lot of headache compared to the 2 for 1 system
