GTX 560 Ti will get you good frames at high at 1080p. For reference I run a GTX 580 at 2560x1440 and play BF3 online with decent fps (45+ average) on High settings; aa off; FXAA (post processing) on medium; ambient occlusion on low, AF on 2x. That's 80% more pixels than 1080p. So I'd definitely say the GTX 560 ti can run high at good frames at 1080p. (Note; Ti model)
Well thing about the motherboard.. It doesn't need to be overly expensive. A Z77 Asrock Pro 4-m or Pro 3 or Extreme 4-M can be found at decent prices. Throw in a 2500K; with the GTX 560 Ti and you've got yourself a damn nice gaming system for 1080p.
Alternatively; if you don't plan to overclock and have no interest in it.. An Asrock H77M board + intel i5 3450 Ivy bridge would do you excellent as well. Would be fine for gaming at 1080p; and at stock the i5 3450 should be similar if not slightly faster than a stock 2500k (keeping in mind turbo frequencies..)

put it in your bank tomorrow and pray that its still there. You wont get a better deal than that for some time, espeically with a giga card with that cooler. Also giga do RMA by serial number if i am correct. So if im right ( someone please step in if I'm not) then even if the card does die ( within about a 2 and a half years judging by long this guy has had it) then you can just send it right back to them.
