Think these parts will work out?

Hello all,

Im just curious is to if all of these parts look ok to go with and if there is anything that needs to be changed before I hit the ol' order button in the next few days! Mainly will my cpu work with this mobo? Since its a Xeon im not sure.

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813127014

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819117103

Mem: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820609026

CPU Cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16835186134

Total: $721 after shipping (cant really go much higher than like $735 max)

P.S. My goal is 3.2ghz on this setup...is that a possibility, my power supply is an Antec NeoHE 550w and my case is an Antec P-180 if that helps anyone? Thx in advance for all the help/opinions...

Everything will work together. Not sure about the OC potential on that board. Don't know anything about it. If it's a good OCer, you should be able to hit 3.2.

Well I read a review that said the ABIT AW9-D Max was a great overclocker, So I assume the since the differences between that and this one are some firewire and SATA ports then I think it would have same OC potential. It was able to hit 455mhz fsb @ 1.80v to the northbridge and with a little higher voltage was able to hit 473fsb @ 1.95v to the northbridge. Also to add to the question does anyone know what the highest safe voltage to put to the northbridge is. I am only going to be needing 400 - 425mhz on the fsb if I want to attemp 3.4ghz, which I dont think I will. Also I like the quad core support, does anyone recommend a different board?

Thx again!
