Waiting for the E8500?

I was about to order my mobo and CPU for my new comp today and I'm glad I didn't.

I just found out about the new processors coming out around january. I don't want to change my board choice so was wondering if anyone knew if it would run on this:

Anyone have any estimates on pricing too? I can afford upto £140 for one, think I'll be able to get the E8500? Or at least the E8400?

Then put the left over money in a good after cooler?death1505921

They will be availableunder £100!

Also the quads start at about £160.

Holy crap! Awsomeness. I'm definatly waiting for them then. I'll get a mid specced one and get a good after market cooler for it. Anyone got any reccomendations?

The FSB on that mobo is 1333, and my RAM is 800mhz. Would I be able to get 4ghz off a 3ghz base spec with the mobo up above abd a decent after market cooler?

My case has 1X80mm and 1X120mm but I'm probably going to add anouther 80mm on the side.

Yeah , a 30% OC should definatly be doable , well 33% to go a full GHz. Definatly get a good cooler. The two best I would use are the Tuniq Tower 120 (Its HUGE make sure your case is big enough) or the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 pro (Also Huge but will fit into MOST Mid-size ATX cases) Plus the Arctic has a better price and VERY easy to instal. The Tuniq is a pain in the a$$ as far as assembely.
