Differences between Intel 1155 chipsets

As I haven't really been keeping up to date of late with Mobos , I currently have MSI Z68A-GD65 Mobo

What advantages if any will I notice if I upgrade from my current Mobo, as there is Z77,H77 AND B75 chipsets available since the Z68

I will be keeping my i5 2500k and overclocking it.

Thanks

Basically, if you're overclocking you'll want a Z77 mobo. IMHO it is not really worth going from Z68 to Z77- I doubt you'd notice any difference at all.
If you were on an older chipset then maybe an upgrade would have been viable, but I'd stick with the Z68...

Ya I was looking at specs, while they may be better on Z77, it was the actual noticeable difference that I really wanted to know. If I more than likely won't see one then I'll spend my $$$ on another part
