I think there's no need for P8Z68 if you are only gaming gaming and gaming. RAM is fine I think. Go for p8p67. Contact *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/members/116271.html this guy. He might still have that 1 month old i5 2500k and p8p67 mobo.

Lucid Logic Virtue does not save electric bill... It is not same as the nvidia optimus technology used in laptops. It just enables software which can be benefited from Intel's fused GPU, to be executed on Intel Quicksync even when a dedicated card is plugged in.
