Help with mobo + proc deal please..

Hi, I'm planning to swap my proc, a E4600 and my motherboard, an Intel DG31PR to a E5200 and Asus P5KPL-AM/PS. I will add $20 to the deal. I'm doing this because I want a faster processor w/o spending so much. With this, im getting a little faster processor on stock, but if i oc (which i will do if ever i push through the deal), the advantage becomes clearer. OCing is not possible with the intel dg31pr, which leads me to a question, is the asus mobo, at least a decent overclocker? I'm not in pursue of overclocking-like-there's-no-tomorrow type because. I don't plan on spending anything on aftermarket coolers. I'll just use the stock hsf.

...is it a fair deal?

the "P5" on the ASUS means no video chipset, so I think u need a vid card, u uld doubshole check that, I am not exactly sure about that.

The processor is good, but isn't a pentium like a good downgrade? The C2D is a better OCer so......

what is ur budget?

Then go with The ASUS. You have a vid card, so u should be goo 2 go. And ASUS is also probably more worthy of OCing as they aren't a generic brand like intel mobos.
