Thinking of taking the plunge but not sure

I've always been a Windows user.... Yes I know I deserve to be hung from the nearest lamp post but I am beginning to see the error of my ways and am looking at switching away from Microsoft after playing with Windows 8. I do have a couple of questions that I need to get answered before I decide to take the plunge.
My current system is an Phenom Quad running at 2.3GHz with 8GB DDR2 RAM, GTX 260 Graphics Card and 1TB drive So I know it will handle Linux with ease but I need some clarification regarding some of the programs I currently use.
I know that I can use programs like Libre Office or Open Office to replace Microsoft Office but my biggest concern is iTunes and World of Warcraft. In my iTunes library I have approximately 600 albums and 300 podcasts that I listen to both on my PC and my iPod Nano 5th Generation so I need a program that is not only a media player but will manage my podcasts and will allow me to update my iPod. With regards to World of Warcraft I know it is a windows program but I have heard that some people have got it running on Linux so I was wondering if anyone here had done it and if so how easy was it or am I going to have to keep with Windows at least for gaming?
