What do you mean by selling your video card? Onboard video still isn't as good as a cheap low-end video card for video encoding.

Go ahead and grab the Corsair Vengeance kit while it's available for $75 (after the use of a promo code). If it becomes sold out, here's a good alternative:

$75 - G.Skill Value Series 2x4GB DDR3 1333 kit

Yes, I'm serious. Since you'll be using the processor's unlocked CPU multiplier while overclocking, you don't need RAM faster than DDR3 1333. Or, to put it another way, you won't be using your RAM to overclock the processor. But again, grab the Corsair Vengeance while you still can. (Just ensure beforehand that your CPU cooler isn't impeded by the heatsink "fins" on the RAM.)

What features prompted you to choose the Asus P8Z68-V Pro over other Z68 boards?

Solid choices there.

I mean so if I want to sell my video card a couple weeks before the 7950(or w/e) come out I can still use my computer for basic things.

I liked the features of the Asus board, 8 Sata ports, Onboard Video, etc. Its price wasn't too bad either.
