Answer 1

You would loose performance. Companies make products which run more efficiently with their own products. Cause the coding and everything will be the same.

Answer 2

The only adverse affect would be that you couldn't use crossfire. But my advice would be to wait until the Gtx350 comes out.

Answer 3

Just go with a P45 or an x48 motherboard...
