2 Brothers 1 Computer

Go to solution Solved by 19_blackie_73,

well i wouldn't, rather get to MITX systems, much easier to maintain.

You have to consider that you need as many strong cores as possible, so at least IMO an i7, nothing under this price point will give a good performance.

 

Guys I need Recommendations

I'm planning to build a PC similar to what Linus has done here:

Mainly because me and my brother want to both have Great PC gaming experiences, and I cant just build another PC due to lack of Space.

Also i would like to use something cheaper such as the AMD Fx-8350 I'm not low on budget but i don't  want to use a Intel I7 6700k since it's too expensive

also Xeons are hard to find in the philipppines

 

What I'm asking here are:

1. should i do a virtualized 2 gamers 1 PC build?

2. If so What parts other than the ones used in that video can I use?

3. If not are there any alternatives

 

Thank you for reading and answering

that amd cpu is so outdated that that machine will be pretty useless for virtualized gaming, it is not worth it. get a cheaper i7 if you really want to virtualize. i advice against virtualization anyways, its a lot of work if you don't know what youre doing and its inefficient with system resources. building 2 small formfactor pc's is way better.
