Get the z68 version of the mobo instead of the p67. It is a newer chipset and intel got some of the problems with the sata bus fixed.
Z68 brings few extra features, and will most likely be suported with drivers longer than p67. One major improvement over what you have on that list would be one of the newer ssd drives. They cost good money, but the speed boost they offer is hard to match with other upgrades. Have fun with your build.

Oh shoot. I just noticed you already have the ssd in the list.
I have a pair of crucial m4 ssd drives and I think those were the biggest upgrade for me.

Funny. I did have the Z68 as my other option, at approximately the same price...I really don't know why I opted for the P67. Thanks for the advice, as I now recall that I have seen lots of similar opinions of the Z68 being the best.

I guess you can see the futility of asking peoples opinions here about anything. Ask for one and you get a steady stream of opinions. lol
