ASUS says P67 for OC, because they have tied in VCCIO and System Agent voltage together as one in Z68 boards.
Soooooo....your choice has been made for you already. |

No real difference that I have seen. Z68 adds the use of the IGP, and the SSD/HDD cache stuff. Some Z68 boards offer PCIe 3.0 stuff, but without any PCe 3.0 parts with a PCIe 3.0 controller being sold yet, taking that avenue may not be the most prudent. Buy your board based on the slot layout, and features. Even the el-cheapo $75 Biostar Z68 board I got matches the high-end boards for CPU OC. The Biostar doesn't work well with all memory, but that's not a hardware thing, so buying a high0end board should not affect OC-ability at all, considering the ram you have.

Full, just for peace of mind, I'd grab a Z68 board just to have the option to use onboard graphics. You never know when catastrophic failure happens at graphics card level, especially if you overclock/overvolt cards. Question though; what would a new board do that you are wanting?

Z68 gets my vote.
I have both the Asus P67 Pro & Asus P8Z68-V LV boards and the Z68's advantages of "Quicksync" for video encoding tasks & using a 40GB SSD as a caching device to speed up a large HDD for your OS is great. They both overclock to at least 4.6ghz with a 2500/2600K processor. If you were a lucky person with a K series chip that go's above 5ghz and want to be able to hit that number for e-peen or benching purposes then go for the P67. If you want a board with good overclocking headroom and fantastic standard features get the Z68

I hear the Z77 boards will have newer features and better OCing abilities being the new Enthusiast series.
