The time has almost come to finish buying all of the parts I need for my new build (less than 2 weeks before I am home). My last part I am unsure about is the mobo. I am a big newb when it comes to mobos as I have almost know experience with selecting them.

Here is what I am looking for in a mobo:
1.) Use of 1066 mHz Ram
2.) LGA 775 Socket for E8600
3.) Number of 16x slots doesn't really matter as I will be using 1 4870x2
4.) Overclockability is key


I have been looking at the ASUS P5K Deluxe here:

Thanks for any and all advice. I know I have been asking a lot of questions but the build is coming soon! I will post pics of course.
 
P5K is P35 based, look at the P5Q's.... P5Q in this case may fit and the price is right too.
 
no its not a problem, its just what the highest supported ram speed is.
