This is not the board to pair with a QX9650. The unlocked multiplier deserves a fast performing chipset i.e. x38 or x48. This board however is a perfect match for Q9X50's as it can reach 475+ FSB stable so you should be able to hit 4GHz stable with a Q9550 or greater. Performance wise though, its no match for the other chipsets.
Any suggestions? P5E Deluxe maybe?
