if i were you i would buy a mobo that can support quad core. but put a dual core into it just like the rest of the folks said. i think supreme commander takes advantage of multiple cores, and crysis not sure about mass effect.
that way you can get a quad later on but for now dual would be sufficient for pretty much anything.
also i would go with ATI over Nvidia. yes i have had a personal bad experience myself with nvidia, but even if i disregard that, look at the specs of 4870 even the 512mb, its cheaper and just as good as gtx 260
