Seems like it would run games solid. Good job in staying in the price range. I dont have as much knowledge about those really new video cards.
 
The Neo-F is a good solid board. You could also consider the Epox NF4 (non-ultra)board. It's usually a few $$ cheaper than the Neo-F, and is alos a very good board. They both OC fairly well, but the Epox might be slightly better here.

Also, Newegg has the X800GTO2 for $199 AR ($219 before rebate). They all unlock to an X850XT where as the GTO's no longer seem to be unlockable. The GTO2 is the best VC deal going right now IMO.
