Will a i5 2500k work with a evga z68. With 8gb of corsair ram. I just ordered an i5 3570k and found out that my mobo doesent support that bridge. Do these work with each other.

Yes, Ivy brige is compatible with z68 mobo's. However, you need a BIOS update to make the board able to recognize your new Ivy Bridge chip.
