Purpose?

And yes, the mobo is good.

If like that, 5000+BE should be fine. But make sure you opt for a HSF also since it doesn't come with one IIRC.

CPU is okay for the tasks you specified. But with that new mobo option, you will lose some gaming performance(but that is irrelevant eh?). But probably not so much considering it has sideport memory also.

The 4850e has a TDP of 45W. Theoretically, it should OC well as you said. But of course it might become a hassle when OCing since it does not have an unlock multi like the 5000+BE.
