I know it sounds silly, but I'm not really "down" with all the terminology and, what with the almost daily price fluctuations, I just want to make sure that these to Motherboards are the same thing. Plan to pair it with a i5-2500.

Yeah same board.

yup. overclockers so op.

Yes. Though pair it with a 2500k if you haven't yet bought the 2500.
