no, you cant use intel cpus with amd mobos. everything else you can keep the same, but if you want the i5, you have to switch the mobo.
i would get this one
ALTERNATE - HARDWARE - Mainboards - Intel - Sockel 1156 - GIGABYTE P55M-UD2
im not sure about completely maxing out every game you listed though. from what i could find, you should be able to max out the CoD games, and HL/HL2 and the rest of the games on around high settings smoothly. idk how running fraps is gonna affect every game either.
