Like ppls say no point going for iX CPU's - better buy something like Q9XXX - im planing buy one and OC it.

My ASUS 5850 runs at 1050/5000 1.3V so there still planty room.
Yeah, an E8400 at stock will.

But mine is clocked up all the way to 4400 mhz, I don't think it will bottleneck. But I asked anyways to see what other people think.
