I'm looking at buying a new processor and motherboard, and have my eye on this motherboad https://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=324780
and this processor https://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=338084

My question is, because it is highlighted that the e6850 is 1333mhz and the max bus speed on the board is only 1066mhz, would they still work together?Thanks

The G965 chipset isn't supposed to be great, as it has some overclocking issues.
A better choice for that price would be the p35 chipset for good performance and moderate future proofing:

Gigabyte p35
Asus p5k
Abit IP35
