No problem with the mobo.

Problem is maybe PSU and case. That CPU may bottleneck on CPU heavy games (starcraft 2, planetside 2 mostly. Crysis 3, skyrim and battlefield 4 to some degree)


What do you mean?


Sorry for the delay. I mean your motherboard its fine for any current GPU but your Power Supply Unit(PSU) may not. Discrete GPUs use more power than an integrated GPU(the one your CPU or mobo has) may ever use so your PSU needs to bring enough power to that HD 7850(or whatever you will buy). 

And you need enough space on your case to be able to fit that GPU in there, so thats why you should tell us which PSU and case do you have or which PC(if its from HP, Dell or whatever)

Your CPU should be fine for almost every game besides the ones I posted. If you plan on heavy gaming any of those games you may find your experience being limited by your CPU(so maybe you may want to upgrade that one too)
