Dual Pc Build.

so i'm building the ultimate computer, and my computer will contain two separate motherboards (1 full, the other a micro board)

now my question is that

if i had two motherboards within a big case, would i need two of each component (cpu,gpu,power supply etc.) including separate keyboards and mouses for each one? I'm more curious about having a 2nd keyboard and mouse rather then the others. I have common sense and probably do need the extra psu, cpu, and gpu.

my goal is to use the micro board so that i can have a perfect twitch stream without lag or quality performance issues, while the main board is used solely for my 4k gaming among other computer usage such as internet, Microsoft word etc etc.

i already have a pretty beefy build, but i'm building a better one with the dual motherboards in mind and am curious would i need two of everything for the secondary motherboard? And if i don't, how would i go about connecting them both to the same keyboard/mouse?

ill be buying the 1000d corsair super case, so space is not an issue. Thank you!!

Yes, it will need 2x kbd/mouse, unless you use a KVM switch.

The only thing you're saving by building 2 systems in one box is floor or desk space. They are two actual different systems. No different than in two different cases.

You do get bragging rights though.
