WTA about LucidLogix Virtu

hi , i want to ask about the LucidLogix Virtu,
i'm plan to get a Z68 motherboard, but i saw the Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-DS3 write that

LucidLogix Virtu
* Make sure the monitor cable has been connected to the integrated graphics port on the back panel.

my monitor are using DVI port, and i notice that the GA-Z68AP-DS3 does't have DVI port, does it means i cant use the feature of LucidLogix Virtu?

in this case, i should go for Asus P8Z68V LX ?
because it have DVI port, When no discrete graphics are needed, the graphics card is put in idle mode to lower utilization, heat, fan speed and power draw down to near zero, making the system more environmentally-friendly.

if i get Asus P8Z68V LX, my monitor cable should plug into mother board, not graphic card ?

please advice, thank

hi all sifu
i'm planing to build a desktop, budget around 2.9k
normally i would use the desktop run few browser with 10 ~20 tabs and fb flash game, chatting msn/skype
sometime will run different browser,photoshop, visual studio, Dreamweaver for work
and would like to play some latest game with 1920x1080 screen size, but normally i would set on medium setting, not full/max setting for the game, but when i play game, i may spend quite a long time on gaming

plan to get the following spec

processor: i5 2500k <- is this enough? or i should add on 200 more budget to get i7 2600
Asus p8z68-v lx Mainboard
8GB (2 x 4GB) Kingston 1600Mhz Hyper-X Memory
1TB W.D. BLACK 64M 7200 RPM SATA3 (6Gbps)
DVDRW x1
cooler master RC-690 II ADVANCE (black) Casing
cooler master GX 650w (does the power supply enough? i not sure about it ... please advice )

graphic card:
ASUS GTX550TI direct cu 1GB D5 192 BIT (cooling good and quiet)

ASUS 6850 direct cu 1GB D5 256 BIT or v2 this card is different about rm100 with the 550ti,
it's has better performance, but i saw some review said that the temperature it is quite high for this card, full load get 70~77c and the fan quite noisy.

change PPPoE to PPPoA save, and turn it back to PPPoE to reconnect.... is there any batter way to reconnect that just click a button?

last time the router i used they have a disconnect button but i can't find it in TM6841G
