most z68 will not natively support ivy bridge unless you bios flash it. Some companies will have it flashed others don't. if it isnt flashed, you will either have to borrow one or buy a cheap sandy bridge cpu like the celeron and flash it.

I would simply get a z77/z75 motherboard and avoid potential problems from incompatible BIOS version. Cheaper than having to buy a low-end SB chip only to do the BIOS flash.
