mobo upgrade

From the post I made on asking which of three Motherboards to go for (the one you linked + 2 Asus Boards) it was suggested to me to go for the Gigabyte UDH5 so couldn't hurt if you go for it.
 
You've mentioned a new motherboard.

I assume you realise you need a new processor as well?

Your existing RAM will fit a Z77 motherboard but whether or not you should use it really depends on what sort of voltage it will run at.

With a Sandy Bridge processor you shouldn't use RAM at higher than 1.60V.

I'm not aware that we've seen what the recommendations will be for an Ivy Bridge processor.
