I think you're spending too much on cpu power and not enough on graphics power.

That motherboard only supports 1.5v RAM. It will work, it will just down clock probably to 1333mhz.

my budget is already maxed like this i can lower the CPU and higher the graphic card but its so hard to choose good one can u recommend any ?

Well for the exact same price, this would be twice as good for gaming.
