virtualization 2:1 MultiPC Virtual Machine AMD Budget Build

[blacksnow]

I am planning to copy "2gamers1cpu" but since im on a budget I decided to do it with an APU for budget and low power. 

The goal here is to play League of Legends at decent settings (All High in 1080p @ 60fps) with my brother at low power consumption.

I very much appreciate your help guys.

Go for a 750 Ti if you want the best power-to-performance ratio and a great LoL experience. Yes, the integrated graphics will be taken up by unRAID.

 

Try networking with ethernet if at all possible, but if you can fit a card on the board wi-fi is a go too, I guess.

I am also consider the power consumption of the Graphics Card the GT 730 DDR5 only max 23W but the GTX 750Ti max out 60W also the price exceeds my budget for two 750 Ti.

 

question can I assign USB port for each VM so I can plug flash drive or usb controller?this is my first VM build

The GT 730 is also really poor value for the money. And by the way those numbers aren’t really realistic, TDP ≠ max power consumption

the GT 730 here is only $40 each and the 750 Ti is around $80 how can I check the max power consumption of the card?

Go on professional review websites and look to see what wattages they measured with the GPUs.

What two Graphics Card can I run with my PSU???

Honestly, I wouldn’t run any graphics card on that PSU. It’s not a very high-quality unit from what I can tell, from a no-name brand… shame you already bought it.

 

As far as wattage is concerned: Pretending it’s not a crappy unit you could easily run two 750 Tis on it.

Ok I found an Affordable PSU  Seasonic M12II 520W 80+ Bronze and probably with get two 750 Tis probably the best way to extend my budget a little. Thanks again

It possible can however I wouldn't trust it. In the future, you may want to upgrade and the PSU will be the weakest link in the chain.

You'll be better off with the FX 8350 and 2 r7 370s. They're much newer and have better support

the problem with FX I cannot find decent matx AM+ mobo to fit the prodigy M
atleast 32GB ram USB 3.0 and onboard graphics to use on unraid os.
also can my psu support two R7 370s?

I think if I can extend my budget more the Skylake build will be the most ideal where I can put i3 first the upgrade to i7 in the future also for gpu I think they will release a low power gpus hopefully  what do you think?but this will take longer than expected haha
