Please Help Me I'm A Noob

Will this processor be compatable with this mother board:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

Asus P5E Intel X38 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
I am building a system for the first time and hoping not to buy the wrong parts.

I'd say yes - LGA775 CPU on a Socket 775 MB will work.

Hi and welcome

Go to the Asus cpu support list here

It will work but I don't think it's a particularly good combo, given today's prices.

What're you trying to do? How much are you looking to spend?
