Im looking to get a decent motherboard and cpu before a lan party comming up in st.louis but its gotta be cheap lol. so far im looking at getting this motherboard

Newegg.com - MSI P7N SLI Platinum LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

its only $150 and if in the future i decide to it will support 3 geforce video cards in sli. i was looking into getting this processor

Newegg.com - Intel Pentium E2140 Allendale 1.6GHz 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Retail

but when i take a look at the board it dosn't say if it supports a 800mhz fsb or not? reason why im asking for help is because the next processor that supports a 1066mhz fsb isn't out of my price range but i was plaining on upgrading to a e8400 in a few months anyways which is out of my price range right now. So by any chance does anyone know if that allendale will run on that board?

Splurge the extra $11 dollars for the 2180 cpu, it has a 10x multiplier and makes O.C'ing allot easier.

More than likely im probably not going to go to that lan i was going to make this build for so instead i think im about to just splurge but if the wolfdale dosnt come back in stock by then do you still think thats my best bet without spending $100+ on the processor for some good overclocks? because im probably going to try and max it out and burn it up right before i get one of the 45nm procs.
