Lga 2011

The socket LGA 2011 is not a ivy bridge it's the follower of the LGA 1366.

And a first that will feature a quad-channel RAM.

The LGA 2011 it´s the follower of the LGA 1366, that´s right, but support´s Sandy Bridge E CPU´s and Ivy Bridge E CPU´s (coming in 2012).

Like the 1155 socket support´s Sandy Bridge K CPU´s and Ivy Bridge K CPU´s.

So you are talking about Sandy Bridge E CPU´s, I don´t see much sense on pick up this now because the new Ivy´s for 1155 are around the corner, with nice speeds price and power usage.

And tree or four channel along with Hyper-t are useless in IL2COD, performance wise.

Sitting and waiting here as well to see what cpu/mobo combo will be my next upgrade.
an i5 2500k looks really good right now, but once the new intel pcus and sockets come out it might be the time to strike, since with new releases prices for i5 2500k and i7 2600k may drop a bit (hopefully).

So for myself I am considering an 1155 mobo with an i5 or i7 sandybridge, since I am somewhat disenchanted about the Bulldozer release.

1155/z68 mobos are the only ones as well at this time that I have seen to be future compatible with pcie x16 3.0 ( with an Ivybridge pcu though ).

Would anyone be able to recommend a z68 mobo at this time?

Go for a good1366 and a high end i7 (and possibly 980)with a 580gtx with the possibility of tri sli and 12-24gb of ram and you are set! Also will be very cheap in a few months imo.
