ATM I have a Coolermaster HAF 912 case, Intel Q8300, Coolermaster Hyper 212+ CPU Cooler, Foxconn G31MX-K, 4GB DDR2 RAM, GTX 560ti and an Antec 520w Gaming PSU.

Thinking of changing the motherboard, CPU and RAM.

Was thinking of a MSI P67A-GD53 motherboard and an i5 2500K and DDR3 1333MHz RAM.

Other motherboard I have looked at are:
MSI P67A-GD55 &
MSI P67A-GD65
What, if anything, do these motherboards do better than the MSI P67A-GD53?

I would probably do SLI next year. I would also be overclocking the i5 2500K CPU as well as far as I could do using my current CPU cooler.

I heard the Z68 motherboards are good for video encoding which I wont do and if I ever do it will not be a lot so I don't really care, also 2 way SLI is more than enough for me, I will never do 3 way. So with this in mind is Z68 pretty much a waste of money?
 
My CPU seems to be holding my graphics card back in some of my games so I was thinking of getting a new motherboard and CPU.

Is Bulldozer still meant to come out this month??
