The Asus P8Z77-V Pro has all these things, along with a laundry list of other features befitting a high-end motherboard. Like the previous flagship Z68 chipset, Z77 allows heavy multiplier overclocking, utilizing small SSDs as hard drive cache, and ability to use integrated graphics features like Quick Sync video encoding while running a discrete graphics card. Though not necessary to enjoy the main benefits of Ivy/ Sandy Bridge, the superb CPU performance and energy efficiency, the high-end Z77 consumer chipset is a must to take advantage of all that the platform has to offer. Series 7 brings some minor improvements to the platform including PCI Express 3.0, a native USB 3.0 controller, and the ability to use triple displays with the improved integrated graphics of Ivy Bridge.
An updated set of chipsets was recently pushed out by Intel to compliment the new Ivy Bridge processors for LGA1155.
