CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor (I'm gonna OC this at some point)
CPU cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Mobo: ASRock 970 EXTREME4 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card
case: Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case (Later on i'm going to add 6 120mm fans that move a lot of air)
PSU: OCZ ZX 850W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply

What I am going to do with this computer is essentially make it for two people. Specifically my brother and I.
I am going to set up a Linux host machine, and then set up a linux VM which will use a second mouse and keyboard for use with my second monitor for my brother.
I am doing this, because he has a really old computer that barely works, so I figure I can set up a VM and he can use half the resources of my computer and my second monitor.
We will be playing higher end games, like Far cry 3, DayZ, borderlands 2, and that sort of thing on low or medium settings.
Also, I may also use a small amount of the resources, (Meaning like 1GHz of two cores and like 4GB or so of RAM) to run a small server using Linux in another VM)
My main question is: Will a 660 be able to handle this much of a load? Meaning two whole computers that are going to be playing games on lower settings as well as a small server?
