How do I know if this mobo will work with my system?

I currently have a Dell PC with a Pentium 940 processor and a 788GTX but am planning to upgrade bit by bit over the next few months to an E7200 and 8800GT. I obviously need to get a new mobo and I have seen an ASUS P5Q Intel P45 Skt 775, but how do I know for sure whether this will work with my current processor and my new setup?

Thanks - looking at that web page it does support my old and new processers, but this may be a thick question but how do I check the power plugs? The PSU is 380w if that helps - im planning on upgrading to a 500w PSU and new case when I get the gfx card around december, but how would i know if my PSU can support the P45 mobo and E7200?

But again, how would I know if the case I bought worked with the mobo?

Gits!

Oh well, worst comes to the worst I will get the mobo and processor and then install them all in the new case with the gfx card around december
