Answer 1

Most new gaming cases are compatible with almost all the motherboards you have listed. I can't check all the parts individually, but the main first thing would be to check which motherboard is compatible with your CPU, fortunately all your chosen Mobo's are compatible with the i5 2500k.



RAM isn't a problem either, all your mobo's support ddr3. As for Sound card i'm not familiar with those but i'm guessing all those Mobo's also support the soundcards, they should have atleast one PCI slot.



Optical drive should be fine, all the mobo's support SATA 3gb/6gb 1-3



Any of those chosen graphics cards will be compatible, you have atleast one PCIe 3.0 slot in all the mobo's and atleast 1-2 PCIe 2 slots. So that shouldn't be a worry, but do a little research and comparisons on the choices.



Overall all your parts should be compatible, and should be able to fit in a decent Gaming case, but make sure the case has sufficient airflow, as in atleast 3 fans. Another point is your PSU (power supply) i had trouble picking mine to, just check that your PSU has enough VOLTS/WATTS to support your components, and check if there are enough CONNECTORS for each component, just go for a decent brand, with 80+, which means it provides almost all its stated watts when required.



Umm parts i recommend (don't take my word, check for yourself):

Case:Coolermaster Storm Enforcer Mid Tower ATX Case



CPU: i5 2500k, and for around $25-30 more you can buy the new Ivy Bridge i5 3570k



HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATAIII 6Gb/s 16MB Cache



MOBO: Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 Motherboard, i think Z77 have better compatibility with the 3rd gen Intel processors, if you pick one. If your not looking to OC, i recommend buying a cheaper version, just the standard, will probably have everything you need for your build.



RAM: If your building within a budget go for the Komputerbay ones, or for perfomance for the 2x4gb corsair sticks, i wouldn't recommend 4 sticks, simply because it means more heat produced in a tighter space, and more power usuage



Graphics card: Really depends on if your gonna use SLI or your gonna OC, if it's simply for plug-in and play gaming i would say gtx560ti, good for the price, but i think you could probably do more research and find a possibly better card.



Optical drive: Upto you, even the cheapest work to your needs



Enjoy your build!

Answer 2

There is a Z68 as you already know;

I`m not an expert on component compatibility, so it might be worth you having a look at the link below, it is from the USA, but applies over here just the same;
