1) Integrated graphics are not good enough for those games, you will need discrete graphics if you want to play things like Rome 2

2) Something around a 760 should produce good results. I have a 670 and despite the issues with Rome II, I am running it alright on Ultra (though I haven't tried extreme). I am less familiar on AMD cards

It really doesn't make any difference to Windows 7 in a negative way and if you want to ignore the Metro stuff, put the desktop link in the top left of the start menu and double click enter when you log in. Windows 8 will probably be better for gaming in the future, but I don't think that will be too signifcant
