jaquith Glorious Feb 8, 2009 14,235 27 49,290 Feb 11, 2012 #4 P67 or Z68 is required IF you want to OC - period. Since the SB 'K' is all about OC'ing then the choice is perfectly clear -- P67 or Z69. If you never plan to OC then keep in mind a 'good' P67 or Z68 is going to cost $170~$200+. Nice side-by-side - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007627%2050001315%20600093976&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=280%7C13-131-790%5E13-131-790-TS%2C13-131-792%5E13-131-792-TS%2C13-131-771%5E13-131-771-TS ; the ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.1) is a hell of a deal at $150 after rebates, and all the MOBO's listed are 'good' OC'ing minimums and offer good expansion options.
