Not to worry, though.
Asus also makes one of these mobos --- the Asus P8Z77-I, into which it is possible to drop a Core i5 2500K for your overclocking pleasure.

Probably defeats the purpose of the mini-ITX philosophy, but I don't want anyone having nightmares about our returning to glorified Speccy 48k's for gaming.
From the looks of it, it will be possible to fit a NH-D14 under the bonnet as well.
These mobos cost about £150.
