Help in upgrading my pc

[Aceeee]

Hi guys! Im going to upgrade my pc from amd to intel. Im going to use it for work and play games.

 

Here's currently what i have in hand:

-Samsung 850EVO 250GB

-WD 1TB Black

-FSP Aurum Gold 700W

-Asus GTX960 OC

 

 Im planning to install vm on it too so that my nephew will stop bugging me to play games while i work. What CPU and Mobo should I use and how much RAM is needed if im going to install a vmware on it? I also heard that you need two dedicated GPUs if you want to build a 2 users 1 pc system. Should I buy one more gpu for it? Budget 800-1k USD

 

Thanks un advance.

1) You would need 16GB of ram with 8GB for each of you.

 

2) You would not be "Upgrading" as there are some really good AMD CPU's

 

3) If your budget is not a concern go for a 6600K or 6700K from Intel Which is new and has 4 Core 8 Threads 4.5Ghz

 

4) If your budget is a concern go for a Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3 which is older but has 4 Core 8 Threads 3.8Ghz

 

5) If you pick the newer CPU you will have to buy new DDR4 Ram

Xeon E3-1231v3 (or 4) with 16GB DDR3/DDR4. 2C/4T per VM and 8GB RAM each. And yes, you'd need a GPU for each VM. I'd say get another 960 or RX 460.

Is it ok if i use different GPUs for each vm? I think im going for an i7 since its on sale. For the memory is it ok to buy one 16GB RAM or should I buy two 8GB RAM? For the board im thinking of buying asus z170 mplus. Or is there any other board you can suggest?
