I've got a 2700K, and some crappy mATX mobo that doesn't do my system any favours. My question is if I can use my SB CPU in a Z77 motherboard. I know that it'll physically fit, being the same socket, but are there any chipset/bios incompatibilities I should know about before going ahead with this?

 

EDIT: I would go for a Z68 motherboard if I could find one in my area, but as time goes on that's becoming increasingly hard to do. I'm also not a fan of buying PC parts online, so that's out of the question as well.

Should be fine, I'm hopefully going to get a 2600K if the prices drop and I'm going to replace my (or thinking about it) current Z68 MSI board with a Z77 one
