That question can only be answered with more questions about what you want out of a motherboard.

P67 does not have support for on-board graphics
P67 & Z68 may not support Ivy Bridge CPU's
H77 & Z77 has native support for 4 (if I'm not mistaken) USB 3.0 ports

There are many other differences as well as those.

H77 & Z77 are the most recent.

Are you going to be overclocking? If so then go for the Z series.
If you're getting an Ivy Bridge processor I'd recommend getting a Z77 mobo just to be on the safe side in terms of compatibility. The prices are pretty similar between Z68 and Z77 anyway.

Probably I won't need overclocking, but if you talk about compatibility with Ivy Bridge CPU then Z77 is the best.Thanks for the suggestion.

Well either get a H77 + non-K CPU if you don't intend to OC or Z77 + K series CPU if you plan on OCing. You're wasting money with a Z77 board with a non-K (and non overclockable) CPU.

Ok so if I go for Z77 + K CPU then which cooling I would be needing? would Air cooling be enough? Right now im using CM 690 2 advanced with 5 140mm Fans, 2 120mm fans, 2 80mm fans.

Your case is good and has excellent airflow. You'll definitely need a third party cooler if you're planning on overclocking.

The Hyper 212 EVO is good. The NH-D14 is top notch, if you can spend a bit more (£60ish).
