I'm Upgrading my PC from:
AMD FX-4100 @ 3.6ghz
evga gtx 650
seagate baracuda 1TB HDD 7200 rpm
gigabyte m68mt-s2 MB
2x4GB ddr3 ram @ 1600mhz
600w rosewill capstone PSU
thermaltake commander case

Im upgrading the graphics to a Gigabyte gtx770oc 2gb, MB to a gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 MB, and the case to the phanteks enthoo pro.
I plan to OC my cpu to maybe around 4.2ghz maybe more after i get my watercooling. I play games like BF4, Dayz, skyrim and want to future proof my pc for upcoming next gen games. I have 2 questions:
1. will 2gb of vram be enough for a 1080p monitor in next gen games with maybe a auxillary monitor for multitasking?
2. How well does this mother board perform and should i think of getting a different one like the asrock 990fx killer?
Thanks for the help. :)

Don't do it. If you are going to upgrade the motherboard, get either an i5 system or an 8320/8350. Otherwise buy a R9 280 range card, because your CPU will still be bottlenecking you.

To answer your questions:
1) Yes 2GB is fine for a single monitor gaming setup.
2) Your CPU will still be holding you back so it doesn't make much of a difference.
