1 PC/2 VMs

[Marine8907]

So, random question. If I'm currently using a 4790K OC'd to 4.7Ghz in my main rig currently and I want to setup a computer that can have a host and 2 VMs while still having the performance of the 4790K for each VM, what CPU would be best for this type of system (if any)? Go with an i7 Extreme like the 5960X? Or go with a Xeon? Also, if I need a Xeon, would it be better to go with a mobo that has X79 or X99 chipsets vs. going with a mobo that utilizes C602 or C612? And before I forget to ask, can you utilize SLI or Crossfire for a single VM or can you only have one GPU per VM?

 

Disclaimer: This is based off of Linus' 1 PC/2 VM gaming build video on Youtube. So, in theory, this is to reduce the number of overall physical PCs in the office, to reduce power consumption from multiple devices, to game @ 4K UHD for both VMs, to do editing as a hobby. I'm planning on having a separate media server on the LAN, so no need for to worry about that. This is more of because I can do it, not because I necessarily need it. Plus, I want to learn more about VMs and Linux (if need be) and what not.
