I'm working on building my own computer, and when picking out the various bits and pieces that make it up, I ran into a few questions that Google hasn't solved. BTW, its main function is going to be gaming, but I'm gonna use it for a bit of multimedia as well.
Q1:

Will this motherboard (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0253239) support any of these graphic cards?

card 1 (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0264789)

card 2 (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0257772)

card 3 (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0263320)

Q2:
Does this (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0258218) drive function as both a drive and a burner, or will I need to pick up another drive if I want to play games?

Q3: Is it worth the extra $20 to upgrade from this (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0260902) to this? (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0260904)

Thanks in advance.
