Answer» Im asking here cause Im blocked from GOOGLING the answer being at work. Which is better between the phenom 965 140w vs i7 920? Or what are your thoughts on best for bang for your buck? I just purshased the 965 Saturday and am still waiting for my parts to get here. So that was my choice only because I know it will run anything I need it to and it was a little cheaper.
