- Budget & Location: Would $800 be enough? And USA
- What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.
*Able to pass a second GPU through to a virtual machine of Windows 7 (or Windows 8.1/10) to play Windows games on a Linux distro. And when I can/feel like it, playing games that are on Linux (steam/gog) or through WINE/Playonlinux . . . Folding@home, browsing the net, watch videos.
If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)
* Resolution: 1080p *perhaps* up to 4k (at some point?)
* FPS - Up to or around 60, since I only have 60 hz monitors.
* It'd be nice to play at (or near) the highest settings as if I was playing natively on Windows

No overclocking at all - I live in one of the hottest states (during summer) I don't need the extra heat, nor we exactly get cold winters (as Philip of PCPP could tell you)
