I might buy this motherboard: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z68AG43_G3.html#hero-overview and I was wondering how far I could push a 2500k/2600k on this board. It is a Z68 board but it only has a 4 pin cpu power connector.

The 4 pin power is used for overclocking, but also to power added pcie slots.
If you will only be using one graphics card, I think you will be ok.
