I want a build that will play new games on high/ultra at 1920x1080.

PARTS I'M BUYING:

Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K

ASRock Z77 Extreme6 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

QUESTIONS:

1. Will this cpu and mobo work well together and get full function out of each other?

2. What RAM should I get with this system. ddr3 1600? dd3 2400? How much of a difference in speed it?

3. I'd like to get GSKILL 2x4gb=8gb of ram. Is that enough to play 1920x1080 on ultra?
