Are you needing an operating system? You will be wanting a 64bit OS to make use of all 5GB of RAM.

Yes i have bought 64 bit vista...

In that case I think you are good to go.

I think I should point out that this quad core cpu is very good and will work in the motherboard. It will overclock very well and play future multi threaded games better.
That said, the e8500 is a very good chip and will likely overclock past 4GHz. So its up to you whether you thing quad core is worth it.

I think ill stick with the 5800 and oc thanks
