A motherboard is hardware that allows your CPU,RAM, GFX and storage/optical drives to communicate. The only bottlenecking you should encounter is with the previously mentioned components that attach to the motherboard. For regular use a budget motherboard is acceptable. For overclocking with a suitable overclockable processor you will need to pay a small premium to get a capable motherboard. For gaming, no motherboard should cost more than the GFX card you put into it.

The only reason to pick that board is if you've got an extra 2 GTX660's lying around or will have in the immediate future.

If you don't require a GPU or won't make use of a strong GPU like in HTPC cases, then yes. Otherwise, no.



A motherboard doesn't bottleneck a GPU as long as it can supply the necessary bandwidth.
