I'm thinking of getting 8 gigs of ram, does the brand matter? Same goes for the power supply but also, what's a good one that will work together well with an overclocked 2500K? And I'd like to get a SSD in the future so does that factor into the type of motherboard? Thanks again.

Mushkin, GSkill, or Corsair are all good. The thing to worry about is, in the event you choose to go with a GIANT air cooler for your CPU (e.g. noctua nh-d14), there may be heatspeader height conflict.
Seeing as an SSD is planned, you could go with a z68 for some extra features like pairing a SSD to a traditional mechanical drive and get the same speed out of it. Also you get to enable the onboard video of the CPU and switch between dedicated and onboard to save energy. Dont spend too much just to get the z68 over the p67 tho.
