Hello, I plan on building my first gaming pc and found these parts on newegg.com
This is an ASUS P5Q mobo and a radeon 4850 combo deal
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.190415
The discounts/rebates are amazing, only $165 for both after rebates.
My budget isn't that big so I was planning on getting a Intel core 2 duo E5200.
The E5200 front side bus speed is 800 MHz,
but the front side bus speed for the p5q motherboard is 1333 MHz.
Are these two compatible? Would the motherboard run at 800 MHz if I used it with the e5200?
If so, then wouldn't that be a waste of mobo speed so I should find a slower mobo or a faster cpu?
