Yes, you will rip up games like bf3/mw3 etc. :sol:

Yes, you will be able to move to the new cpus when they come out here shortly. :eek:

IF you haven't purchased your MOBO then be very careful there are several versions of 'M5A78L' some of them do and some do not support 125W CPUs {e.g. M5A78L-M LX is 95W}. There are (8) versions of this MOBO.

M5A78L - http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/M5A78L/#specifications
AMD AM3+ FX™/Phenom™ II/Athlon™ II/Sempron™ 100 Series Processors
Supports CPU up to 125 W

As far as Crysis on the 560Ti well it's so so and you'll be stuck to 2xAA or 0XAA and get 40~45FPS on a typical HD monitor (1920x1080). Crysis is very demanding, and I'd take some time to research the GPU benchmarks for your games...
