Everything comes down to how much you can afford.

A sub $1000 option to mid hundreds is to go for a lga1366 motherboard and find a compatible Xeon -6 core. Then the cash saved means you can go for better GPU. You can get that in the mid hundreds.

Gaming is not really something you can do in VM s unless it is a type of game that ain't fancy.

If you go for a beast, Id pick a xeon with compatible motherboard. Make sure you go for 4k logo type stuff even if it is not xeon. I love 4k monitors. I use to think that 1440p was all the rage but 4k is much better.

Make sure that the motherboard supports SSD's natively and has all the fast boot options and such.

I won't mention raid since I got caught with my pants down. Since I have not implemented it as of yet on SSDs. Though make sure that the SSD is compatible with RAID but think the latest SSDs are. Else they will not last long.
