If i were u at such low res i would just hit a non CF/SLI board like a 870/SB 850 one, 500-600W 80+/80+ bronze PSU something like a GTS 250/HD 4850 on the cheap and it's all good

Would it be okay if I used a resolution of 1920X1080 / 1680X1050?

That depends if your current display is capable of those resolutions ^^

Well, then you would have to buy a new monitor.
