Computer for Gamer

The computer in question was built by a Reddit user for gaming and productivity purposes within the $3000 budget. It features a Threadripper 2950X CPU, Geforce GTX 1080 and Geforce GTX 1070, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 4TB HDD + 1TB SSD, and a 1200W PSU.
The computer boots unRaid and starts two VMs running their own copy of Windows, allowing two separate users to game on one system.
The setup allows for running separate Windows machines on one desktop, with one user dedicating resources to motion design and graphics work, and the other for gaming and videos.
Virtualization is utilized to run multiple powerful and separate "Windows machines" off one desktop.
Pros: Impressive hardware setup, allows for dual users on one system, offers flexibility for different tasks, an innovative use of Virtualization technology.
Cons: Some technical challenges such as system startup issues and USB device management, potential resource splitting impacting performance, not cost-effective compared to building two separate machines.
Reddit users appreciated the creativity but also critiqued the resource allocation and cost effectiveness of the setup, suggesting building two separate computers would provide better performance.
Linus Tech Tips did videos similar to the setup, and the Reddit community shared gaming experiences and insights on hardware choices.
