CPU's and their socket are mutually exclusive since the number of pins and geometry changes.

PCI-E 3.0 will be backwards compatible however with the current PCI-E 2.0.

Basically, your GPU will work but it won't get the benefit of it. Your proposed CPU will not work with a newer LGA 2011 socket mobo. The CPU posted is a LGA 1155 only. Can't answer the RAM without at least the PC number.
