I would like to at some point (see fourth bullet point below) replace my CPU (and my motherboard if necessary) and perhaps a second GPU (or replace my current one) for virtaulization - run a native linux distro (like Mint) and run a virtual machine of Windows while passing through a gpu to windows to get near native windows performance.

Games I'd like to run: See steam games ([URL]http://steamcommunity.com/id/DlfC/games/?tab=all[/URL]) and wishlist: (http://steamcommunity.com/id/DlfC/games/?tab=all) along with probably anything from GOG (that may or may not be on steam). Along with retail discs (either through Wine/PlayonLinux or virtual machine of Windows).
