Looks good, you can spend an extra £6 on the retail CPU which has a longer warranty, retail box and the stock intel heatsink/fan.

Nope, and there isn't any I believe, all P67/Z68 boards have a maximum of four (2 by Intel and 2 from Marvel) which is what that has got.

Are you dead set on that 6870? theres a cheaper one - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-143-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1866
