I currently have i5 2500k in a p67 ATX board with a GTX470 and I am looking at downsizing to an ITX form factor. I am currently running four monitors; two on the 470 and two on a seperate GT210. My question is if I were to buy a Z68 or Z77 (More likely) based ITX board could I utilize my i5's...

I don't know if you are in the United States but if you are (I assume from you using NewEgg.) see if there is a Fry's Electronics near you. I know some people hate them but some of their combo deals are unbeatable. They have had an E7500 and MSI P43 board for $100 about a week ago and they...
