i was just wondering if it was possible to pass a pcie device (gpu and usb expansion card) to a vm in windows 10.  Im toying with a 2 gamers 1 cpu kinda thing but i want my full system when the other isnt in use any input or ideas would be appreciated,

AFAIK PCIe Passthrough isn't possible on consumer windows hosts (this can be accomplished with Windows Server 2016 on Hyper-V), it can also be done on a bunch of distros of linux.
Edit: just use a linux based host, Windows Server 'supports' it but it also needs hardware level support and a 'server grade graphics card' so it's probably more hassle than its' worth.

Red Hat is known for such things (as well as UnRaid, which uses some of Red Hat parts, afair).

Purify your Windows 10/11, don't give Microsoft anything that you don't want to share.

Hyper-V in Windows 10 Anniversary Update and in Windows Server 2016 has the ability to do Discrete Device Assignment, where a device like a GPU can be directly mapped into the address space of a guest VM. This is supported for Windows guests and for Linux guests.

Using: 

Dismount-VMHostAssignableDevice -LocationPath gpu-device-location -force
Add-VMAssignableDevice -LocationPath gpu-device-location -VMName
