Since its not a K version. You wont be able to overclock. Stick to a good P67 board if you want to SLI/CF in the future, or else get a H67 board and save the money. For the GPU its best you mention you complete specs that you plan to buy.

Q - What is the purpose of the GPU? nvidia GTS 450 or GTX 260 or ATI HD series

Meaning if you are NOT gaming then get a Z68 MOBO and use the iGPU ports; the Intel HD 3000 is plenty for ANY 2D situation and 'some' games though IMO any gaming 'should be' run on a discrete GPU.

I really like the MSI Z68A GD65 (Gen3) and the Asus P8Z68-V Pro (gen3) boards as I think they have some nice features out good price points.
