This might be wrong but, the motherboard you picked out doesn't support an FSB higher than 1333. Since the E8500 comes with a stock FSB of 1333, you won't be able to OC it very well. This also means that there is no point in buying ram faster than DDR2-667 or maybe DDR2-800 (800 for some extra head room). I'm probably wrong...
