No issues whatsoever. Motherboard RAM and graphics card RAM is totally separate.

For graphics cards: Go for the 4890 $180

If you can find those or want something cheaper, get the 4870 or GTX260 ~$150-$160, or a dx11 5770 (performs almost as good as the 4870, but supports dx11)

Yeah, just get an HD4770 or HD4850. Either will be fantastic for that resolution. You should only consider a more expensive card if a new monitor is on the horizon.
