Hello all i am new to this forum and new to this kind of software. I have a few questions regarding making my own kind of set up like this but the hardware use is the tricky part.

 

Currently i run an I7-4770k 3.5GHz Quad Core, 16gb DDR3 1600Mhz RAM, Twin EVGA GTX 760(4gb) in SLI, Samsung 840 evo 250gb SSD and a segate Barracuda 1tb Drive on an Asus Z87 Sabertooth mobo. could this hardware be enough (given i add 2 more drives) to run 2 Gaming VMs just like linus? or would the Quad Core being split not be enough to support that?

 

Before i do this i was thinking of going to x99 with an Asus Board and a 5820k 6-core, evrything else the same, would the 6-core be enough to run 2 gaming Vms?

The 4770k may or may not be fast enough but unfortunately that's not relevant - it doesn't support VT-d so you can't do the hardware pass-through you need for gaming .

This.

The 5820k supports vt-x and vt-d so it should be possible to run 2 gaming VMs but you might have some small performance issues on games that need more than 3 "real" cores. But most newer games and applications should run completely fine because of the high frequency and hyperthreaded cores.
