Hey everyone! I recently upgraded my main PC and now I have some leftover parts that I want to use to recreate a build inspired by a video I saw. The goal is to set up a single tower PC that can allow two people to game simultaneously. Here's what I already have:
- Ryzen 7 5800X
- Asus B550-E motherboard
- 32GB DDR4 RAM (2x16)
- 1TB NVMe SSD
I also have a 9070XT 16GB GPU on RMA that I hope to have back by the time I finish building. This will be GPU #1.
For the remaining components, I plan to get:
- Thermalright Peerless Assassin cooler
- Sapphire Pulse 9060XT 8GB (this will be GPU #2)
- Considering a 1000W power supply
I want to ensure I can run two different games at the same time for two users. Here are my questions:
1. Is a 1000W PSU sufficient for this build?
2. What software should I use for virtualization, ensuring both setups can run Windows 11?
3. Should I go for an Nvidia GPU instead of the 9060XT?
User #1 will be on the 9070XT with a 4K 120Hz monitor, while User #2 will use the 9060XT and connect via Steam Link. Thanks for any input!

I don't have time to go into a full guide right now, but I managed to set up a similar system using Proxmox and it worked like a charm! Really smooth experience overall.
Proxmox came up a lot during my research. How does it handle online gaming, though? Any issues like getting banned from games?
