This might be an odd one for most but I figured this might be the right place to ask. I work from home doing call center style tech support. My machine is really old "2006 Build" and I am spitballing prices etc for around income tax time to build a new machine. The thing that might be hard to ask is I want to build a machine that can both run work and my other stuff at the same time. For work I login to a vpn and then launch a virtual desktop. My plan would be to build a machine that has enough hardware to have a separate virtual desktop to run work from while running everything else from my machine so that I wouldn't have to logout etc all the time and I could keep them separate. I have been looking into it and I believe you can run a VD inside of a VD but im just not sure what the minimum specs would need to be.
My ballpark in my head is to build a 9600k with like 16 gigs of ram and use my existing gtx760 until I can afford to get something better when prices go back down. Is 16 gigs of ram enough? How well would a 6 core run a VD inside of a VD? I am an intel guy so I wouldn't want to do AMD. I do understand there is a ton of hype behind Ryzen etc but I have had bad experiences with AMD in the past. This is just for speculation as I will not have the funds for a few months either way.
Also What are the best VD applications out there for stability and ease of use? Thanks for any input!
