thats the board im looking at too for my first time build ... my question is tho are p67 chipsets better for gaming than the z68? mobo will be paired with i5 2550k and a s.c gtx580 and G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866

im wondering which will perform better when paired with that cpu and gpu and ram
