forever being that its seasonic and your GPU and CPU will die before that PSU

I went workstation because thats what the origanial build looked like it was trying to be.

Balls to the walls would probably be 8700k and 2 2080ti and 32GB of ram

i mean the one PSU i had for the longest time was a 1000w ā€¦ iirc corsair? that was made in 2007 and i had it until a year ago when i switched to a newer unit simply because of the self check on the old PSU would pull 1000 watts for a few seconds when starting to see if it still works, which could trip breakers sometimes :stuck_out_tongue: was great otherwise and still works though.

And you could run 3 Radeon VIIs at a push if you ever wanted to XD

Isnā€™t that just the standard ā€œhigh-endā€ gaming build? Well, single 2080Ti at least.

Balls to the walls sounds like some crazy shit Linus would pull like the system that could host multiple users at once.

lol RIP those drives, iirc wasnā€™t that heat even beneficial to get the bearing loose enough to start spinning XD

Quad GPUs with each GPU passed-through for each user.

Or could just buy a GPU with SR-IOV and have one GPU

best gaming isā€¦ more or less this
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jKKrBb
or the intel versionā€¦ which is actually not that much more
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FRYjkd

orā€¦ the most high end gaming anyway. definitely not a great value either way :stuck_out_tongue:

Doesnā€™t look crazy at all.

Mineā€™s a bit overpriced for what it is. I think storage is eating up a lot.
Seeing that it was over 2kā‚¬ when I built it for fun on PCPartpicker made me feel uncomfortable, especially as itā€™s ā€œonlyā€ a 1700, 16GB, RX 480. The storage is eating a whole lot of the total.

What?

i mean most of the reason why my build is a $2000ish and not a $1200ish build is the fact that the 800gb intel 750series is still really expensive ($700 retail MSRP or so lol)

SR-IOV lets you isolate a single card so it can be used on multiple virtual machines at once which means you can have 4 separate instances all with graphics acceleration without needing additional cards and messing around with a vfio setup. You can also get Ethernet/SFP+ cards that use SR-IOV to split networking between multiple vms too.

Wouldnā€™t that split the performance too? Or is this for a scenario where youā€™d only have one VM focused at the same time and switch between them?

Yeah, the Intel SSD adds a lot to the total but you didnā€™t pay the actual price iirc.

I paid full price for all components except for the 2x 8TB HDDs which were cheaper cause ext. vs int. prices are bogus. 145ā‚¬ per ext. vs 250ā‚¬ for an int. Red. And now I donā€™t even have all my HDDs in use (2x 1TB and 1x 3TB are sitting around.
