A Challenge!

[piemadd]

I will be surprised if anybody can do this. Only 2 Parts can be used totaling up at $1500 without keyboard and mouse. Here are the requirements:

- 16Gb DDR3

-8 Cores

- One GTX 960 4GB or Better

- One GTX 750TI or better

- 2 1080p 5ms 60hz displays

-2 900p 60hz displays (response time doesn't matter)

- Non-stock cooling for cpu

 

This will be for dual Virtulization. One for me, and one for my little brother. I tried, but I started ripping my little bro off with the specs. Any ideas?

Have fun. You're just flat out fucking yourself over on that kind of budget, especially on the CPU side.

What do you mean by "only 2 parts can be used"?

 

Are you trying to design one system that can run two vm?

Like from eBay. They can be from a retired server environment or something. It will be safe for the seller to be trusted

Have fun finding motherboards.

On the cheap, at least.

$308, go and buy yourself 2 e5s for 8 cores per person. still have $1000 left over.

 

that particular model is in and out of stock every other week though, due to the huge popularity of people doing this and the not so great server motherboard supply.
