Motherboards do not prevent you from using a gpu not todays motherboards anyway.

what you need to make sure is your power supply 600w 80 plus

i would ignore the r9 270x there basicly rebranded models and overpiced

and all gcn will cards will support mantle

you can upgrade your bios when you want to upgrade your cpu which you can go to ivy bridge

link is for getting the latest bios which you will need if you ever change processors later

cheapest i5 which is energy friendly i5 3350p or i5 3470



600w psu

motherboard is fine for gaming you wont need a new one at all

i3 is good for medium gaming

when you feel like your performance is sluggish flash the motherboards bios and you can put a i5 ivy bridge in non k wouldnt recomend overclocking on it hence why i recomend non k
