the chipset in that motherboard is old, and i believe will not support that CPU. Even if it does, if you are going to spend the money on those other components, getting that motherboard would be a waste.
it's a bit old. i would get this

RedDevil6 - You've GOTTA be joking me! Honestly! How is the P35 chipset out of date!?
Also, wish a CMOS flash, it'd support ANY 45nm Quad...
just read alot. before i had the mobo and cpu in my sig i had something else, didnt read much about it and was very dissapointed, read alot, and made my decision about what i have now and couldnt be happier.
before you decide to go with the Q9300 i would read some reviews on it, and make sure you dont want to get the Q6600 instead. just throwing that out there. To me the q9300 seems like a waste of money. especially seeing that the 6600 is way more overclockable and has a much larger cache, not to mention the 9300 only has 100mhz more clock speed. the only plus to the q9300 is that is more energy efficient.
but thats only what i have read about it
Q9300 is slightly better than Q6600.

Some ppl mention Q6600 is having sales in US ($200)...
If $200 vs $300, definately Q6600...
