Why not just run Windows 8.1 Professional and use the built-in Hyper-V? It'll do all the stuff you already want with the benefit of not having to fight with compatibility issues because some games and drivers won't properly support a Server OS.

Then, get a Core i7 instead of a Xeon. And do not, under any circumstances, put a 5,400 RPM drive in that PC. 7,200 RPM minimum. It doesn't matter that you're going to put the OS partitions and OS VHDs on the SSD. You will notice it. I speak from experience.
