Dude that gpu choose is old and will get outdated in a matter of years, you better invest in a Hd5750 or hd5770 for future proof gaming or at least a hd4870.
 
No issues, I might try getting a Sapphire Radeon HD5750 which costs about 8k. That means I will have to stick with X4 635 (was planning for X4 945). What about the mobo? I found ASUS M4A78LT-M which suits my needs, what say?
