The Z68 motherboard may need a bios update to take the Ivybridge cpu, You could give Overclockers a call to check.

Dont assume anything.

Any reason why you havnt gone for Haswell cpu build ?

Apparently the mobo is a Rev2 so should be ok with Ivy, you can check with customer services. You need to be quick to get the 670 at that price though as it goes up 9am monday morning.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II OC Gamer 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £189.95
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £185.99
1 x Patriot Intel Extreme Masters 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (PVI38G160C9K) £49.99

Cheaper RAM which colour codes to the mobo.
