A: Any PCIe video card will work with that motherboard, but SLI will not work since it's a CrossFire motherboard (SLI = NVIDIA, CrossFire = ATI). I assume the reason you're getting a motherboard with multiple PCIe slots and an SLI-ready video card is because you plan on installing multiple cards, in which case you'll have to get an ATI card that supports CrossFire and set it up that way. There's nothing stopping you from using a single NVIDIA card if you want to, though. Other than that everything looks good.
