Thanks guys. Looks like its going to be two machines with two computers. Now to decide; Virtual Pin or Arcade first. Cheers.

Thanks for the input Draco1962; greatly appreciated. I was thinking they may work at the same time as the Virtual Pinball is very GPU resource hungry, whilst the Arcade would be more CPU resource hungry. I was thinking I could run the playfield, backglass and Arcade screen off the video card and run the DMD off the onboard video card. Can you try to pinpoint where the above specs may become a shortfall? Maybe purchase only 1080p screens for the whole systems and ditch the 4K screens to lessen the burden on the GPU? I can see this new hobby is going to be an expensive one; but well worth it.

Have been thinking about making a seperate Virtual Pinball Table and 2 Player Arcade Emulator Machine with one computer system. Both machines would be connected by one computer between both cabinets. Is this possible? My build would consist of: GPU MSI GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING X 8GB CPU i5-7600K Kaby Lake Quad-Core 3.8 GHz Motherboard MSI Z270 GAMING PRO LGA 1151 Intel Z270 RAM HyperX Fury 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2400MHz PS EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 220-G2-0750-XR 80+ GOLD 750W Storage HDD WD Black 5TB OS HDD SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III Virtual Pinball table would be running a 43 inch 4K playfield, 1080p backglass and DMD. Arcade Machine would be running a 43inch 4K screen. Both systems would only physically be connect by USB's and HDMI's. Has this been done or attempted before and would the above system have enough grunt to run both. My thought behind this is to not double down and purcahse two seperate systems.
