You will not be playing on ultra for $600 but high maybe. Does this price include a monitor? If so you will be at medium settings.

Here you go. Should play all modern games on high settings. Ignore the warning. ALL BIOS revisions of that board support the CPU.

No not really. You will have to do a bit of a downgrade to a gtx660.

what about this card ? it seems like its almost the same thing XFX Double D FX-787A-CDFC Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

What do you plan to upgrade, the GPU?

It is only a small bit worse than the 7870.

The gtx660 will play at mostly high settings at 1080. Some games may run at a mix of medium and high but most will still run at high.

No problem. This will easily last a year at high/medium settings.
