Ivy bridge itself is at most a 10% performance boost compared to its sandy counterparts, with its main appeal to gamers being PCI-E 3.0 support.... with ivy chipsets. You won't get this with a Z68 board, so unless you're anal about TDP and iGPU performance it shouldn't effect you that much.

But then again why get a z68 at all? Get a 7x series board and you won't run into any of these problems anyway.
Well, at this point the problem is that I already ordered the Board, based on the advice of a friend of mine. I only discovered this issue last night xP And I am trying to decide what is best at this point for me to do as far as a CPU is concerned.
