Z68 Chipset for Game-players
The new Z68 chipset from Intel has brought some engaging new options to computer builders. The Z68 chipset set out to mix the best of the H67 and P67 chipsets. Before this, for the fan - especially the PC gamer - one would want to go with with the P67 chipset. P67 provides the power to overclock and offers the best performance re 3D gaming, while the H67 provides on board video capacities which are better for some non-3d video processing activities.
The Z68 chipset provides a board which can be overclocked and also has the on board video. The combination of these provide two unheard-of features - the value of these features will be totally dependent upon how each person uses their system. If you are aiming to build a gaming computer, I can help you discern the options.
I have noticed that many folk are misinterpreting the way the options affect PC gaming particularly. The first feature, as an example, is SSD caching. Here is the quick version: SSD caching acts as an arbitrator between the slower standard hard drives, and RAM - momentarily storing chunks of the most commonly referenced info to be accessed from the quicker SSD. This allows one to reach SSD loading performance while saving anywhere between $100-400 by not buying a much larger SSD (one only wants 20-40 GB SSD for the caching). This feature helps improve loading speed - especially for in game levels like with {World of Warcraft} and Starcraft 2.
The other new feature involves the on board video. An unrelated party software by Lucidlogix called Virtu acts as a level of processing between the software and the video hardware. Many folks will say this causes a performance drop off in 3D gaming - this was the case with the first preview of the technology earlier in the year. However , there were changes, and now Virtu - when set up properly - won't affect 3D performance.
For P.C gameplayers, the Z68 chipset provides all the benefits of P67, while giving one the power to achieve SSD loading performance without the acute cost. If you actually have a P67 system, then there's no reason to upgrade - if you need SSD performance and you have got a P67 system, getting a full sized SSD will be only a touch more than getting a Z68 chipset motherboard plus a smaller SSD. The Virtu technology does not have any benefit for 3d gaming. At the end, the z68 chipset is a wonderful offering for someone who doesn't have a Sandy Bridge system.

The reason I asked this and I know it will run it but I was curious as to the more technical aspect of the resolution as there was a few points in Battlefield 2: Bad Company where I dropped to around 30 FPS so I was curious as to that aspect of it which I should have put in the main question or somewhere in the other information. I know quite a bit about computers and I don't have more money than brains I am a neurosurgeon, so its not like I make less than 7 figures a year.
It should do very well on Battlefield 3. The 580s in SLI is probably more than enough and the processor is good for BF3 too, so you shouldn't have any problems running it.
Ultrabook prices to drop in price 5-10% in Q1 2012? (Slash Gear)
DigiTimes and its mysterious sources are at it again with a new tip that
Ultrabooks will get a bit cheaper early next year. The publication cites
industry sources claiming that the price of an Ultrabook will fall by 5-10% in
Q1 2012. That would put most of the Ultrabooks at the sub-$1000 range that
they [...]
