I thought I saw some overlcocking options in the bios but since I am not bothered too much I didn't care much of what was there for overclocking.  I think moving from Intel Core2Duo 2.66Ghz to Intel i7 2600K is pretty okay upgrade.   

Anyway don't get so upset with the lack of overclocking options.   I believe this review shows the Intel i5 overclocked to 4.5Ghz.  with this cheap motherboard Zotac Z68-ITX wifi.

YOu have to admit that is is not that bad for a tiny motherboard.

I thought Z68 was the latest chipset.  Why would I spend money on old stuff?

I wanted a good mini computer for my TV console and I did just that.

    if you don't RAID or overclock, there is no difference but as you use SSD, Z68 may perform a little better.

This is the first time I am using a SSD Drive.  It is super fast.

I test the system with one more benchmark and it really tested the new system.   Kind of makes me feel that I made a wrong choice with my display card.  Lol!!!

Last week I changed the Gigabyte Geforc GTX 560 OC at the shop to a slightly faster card because I needed a card that can play games at 1920 x 1080 with max settings at a good frame rate.  

So I got the MSI Geforce GTX 560 Ti Hawk

Here are some benchmark results with the i7 2600K running at stock speeds with Turbo enabled and the display cards running at stock speeds out of the box.

Well worth the $450 price difference.

Games are also running more smoothly at 1920 x 1080 max settings.    Not the best but good enough for my itx system.
