What case will you be using?

BTW your mobo name and link don't match: The link is for the Asus P8Z77-V LK, not the LE. Though I'd recommend the LK anyway over the LE.

I'd try to get a used p8p67 pro or something..something 8+2 phase with heatsinked vrms..
just for durability.Eh..hate to admit t..but the AsRock z68 pro3-m would be good.

Sorry, i forget:

Case: CoolerMaster Centurion 534

The M.B. is the LK, for this reasons

Yes I agree with the above sentiment about z68 or p67. I wouldn't use sandy bridge with a z77 motherboard. Too many gotchas regarding pci-e lanes and how they are used etc. Definatley switch to a p67 or z68 board and you'll be much better off.

I would get a new case considering that case is fairly inadequate for a heavily overclocked CPU these days.I would look at the NZXT Source 210 Elite or Coolermaster HAF 912 as budget replacements. If you want something higher-end, the Corsair 300R and 400R are good choices as well. Either way, replace that case with something more modern, has better cable management, better cooling, etc.

I would stick with Z77. I see no good reason to go with the older Z68 or P67 motherboards.

A 2500K in a Z77 may cause problems?

Greetings

You won't have any problems with using an i5-2500K on a Z77 board. However, Sandy Bridge supports PCI Express (PCI-E) 2.x whereas Ivy Bridge (e.g., i5-3570K) supports PCI-E 3.0.

I recommend the i5-3570K over the i5-2500K, especially if you're going with a Z77 motherboard and the price of the i5-3570K is around the same price as (if not a bit cheaper than) the i5-2500K.
