OK so I have AMD FX-6300, ASUS M5A97, tried GPU passthrough with GTX 1050 and was able to get into a game but the mouse was not cooperating. I was using barrier for mouse/kb sharing. Anyway I wasn’t able to get it sorted and rage quit.
It’s tax season and I am able to build a new PC. I use Linux daily and when the game I was playing with friends dropped Linux support (Rust), so I bought another ssd and installed Windows on it to be able to continue playing with my friends. I haven’t played Rust in over 4 months because I hate rebooting into windows.
I want to build a new PC specifically for being able to have a Windows VM I can play my steam games in. With that said…
- Budget. How much are you willing to spend?
$1500 - Where do you live (what country, don’t post specific details), and what currency do you use?
US USD$ - Is there a retailer you prefer?
Nope - Do you need or already have peripherals? (this can add to costs)
I have monitor, kb, mouse, headphones, etc. - What will you be using your Glorious computer for? Gaming? Rendering? Mix of both? Or is this a home media PC or Steam Box?
I will be using as my daily driver, and gaming in a Windows vm - Do you overclock or want to get into overclocking?
NO - Do you plan on going for custom water-cooling now, or in the future?
I plan on getting one of the closed loop pre-built water coolers - Operating System. Do you need a new one?
NO
If you Game-
- What kind of settings do you like or what FPS do you want to play at?
As long as it’s playable. - What resolution will you be playing at? //or would like to play at.
1920x1080 - What kind of games do you like to play?
FPS survival, CS:GO, Rust, 7 Days to Die, etc. - What specific game will you be playing (if you really only play one)
CS:GO, Rust, 7 Days to Die, etc.
If you Render or Edit things-
Nope
So I have two pcpartpicker lists and I’m wondering if anyone knows of any issues with either list, if these will work for my use case (IOMMU groups). Any suggestions, warnings, etc.
